The effects of Verizon strike was clearly manifested between workers on a strike and the affected business owners in Pennsylvania. The latest report revealed that police were called upon when both of the parties ended up in an argument upon a "criminal mischief" which is allegedly done by the Verizon employees.
The incident happened in Northern Cambria, Cambria County, Pa, nearly two weeks ago. According to Hastings Borough Police Chief Ron Sharkey, authorities got a call from an unidentified person that a certain Verizon pole was set on fire, as per Wearecentralpa.com report.
The fire department came to the realization that the pole could have been intentionally set on fire, given the circumstances that the Verizon workers were coincidentally present at the same day the incident happened. Sharkey added that there were no signs of force entry and that someone must have had the keys to getting in.
Additionally, the chief explained that the Verizon pole was also carefully tampered, with the "motherboards inside the box were shorted. As a result, the phone lines of business owners who uses Verizon's service became unavailable, hence the inconvenience.
Verizon Maintenance Splicer Greg Walls stated that this incident was not surprising. "I've seen things catch on fire. People shoot them, people run them over, people hit them with lawn mowers and dump trucks and back hoes. I mean, the stuff gets damaged every day, but you would never normally notice it because we come out and take care of it."
On the other hand, the workers on strike denied the accusations, saying that only want to get back to work. Meanwhile, in Middlesex County, Massachusetts, Waltham councilors support the demands of Verizon workers.
"We, the political leaders and residents of Waltham, need to stand shoulder to shoulder with the working women and men of Verizon," city councilor John McLaughlin said, quotes Wicked Local. The local politician passed a resolution that aims the betterment of 36,000 employees.
