Verizon Says Strike and Boycott Push Aren't Hurting—Yet
As the strike of 40,000 Verizon employees continues, the telecommunications company has claimed that the strike has not had any impact on its financials. The company’s CFO still believes that the company will meet their expected targets for the year. This contradicts Verizon’s quarterly report, which stated that the company may “take an unspecified hit” due to the strike. Verizon had taken proactive measures, which included training replacement employees in the case of a strike.
