Verizon reports sabotage as workers continue strike
August 09, 2011|By Taryn Luna, Globe Correspondent
Verizon Communications Inc. reported a dozen cases of sabotaged cable lines and warned of delays in repairs and customer service on the second day of a strike involving about 45,000 employees.
The telecommunications company said there have been 12 acts of sabotage to telephone lines and to Internet and television services in Massachusetts, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York since the strike began.
Fiber-optic lines were intentionally cut in Tewksbury and several other municipalities on the East Coast, the company said.
Stolen equipment in Cedar Grove, N.J., affected service to a police department, and a heat system was tampered with at a central office in Manhattan.
“This could be a dangerous situation if people need to reach fire, police, or emergency responders and can’t use their phone,’’ said Phil Santoro, a spokesman for Verizon.
If I was the boss, I'd instruct all CSRs to tell anyone calling about problems that they are doing the best they can but that some services are being sabotaged by striking union employees and it may take a an unknown amount of time to correct the problem. Let the people know the real cause is the scum union.

I read the comments at BG's link. NJ people are a lively bunch, aren't they? :-)
