to the top dog of the company and demand that he settle with the strikers immediately.
Perhaps give him a certain amount of time after which you plan to find another plan.

this is only a suggestion on my part. I do realize that some folks are locked into their plans. Of course you could always threaten to not renew.

but the most important thing is to call, write, or email the company. Perhaps send them a twitter message also. Best thing there is that it's public.

Customers can be some of the best supporters for the strikers, because companies like to keep their customers happy esp if they are in the business of making sales to those customers.

a bit but let Verizon know where you stand if they don't come to an agreement within a few weeks I would go elsewhere There are plenty of other reliable carriers now, but that's just me.

I dropped Verizon a couple of years ago for the same reasons you are thinking of dropping them now. I took Credo instead. Credo cost more but they donate to organizations with which I agree. Unfortunately, they use non-union Sprint as their carrier. It seems that no matter what one tries to do, the money grubbers are there first. That being the case, I think Credo is ok if you don't mind the non-union bit.

as others have suggested. Write the CEO, remind him you and a whole lot of other people pay his salary, let him know you support the union in their pursuit of decent wages, benefits, and working conditions, and say it would be worth the few more pennies a day required so fellow Americans would have a fair shot at a decent life. That carries moral weight, as long as you are polite, but firm in your statements. Writing while not being a customer makes you an outside agitator, which doesn't carry the same ethical heft.

Where I live, it's Verizon or Comcast, and Comcast has been so utterly abysmal it's been worth what few hassles we've had with Verizon. FWIW, we had a problem with the FIOS main power backup system over the past weekend: PEPCO cut power to our area for a few hours during the day last Thursday. The initial power surge through the wires when they turned it back on took out the FIOS back-up unit, which took out our Internet, TV, and phone. We arranged for a service call to fix it, with the earliest available time on Sunday. On Saturday, my SO picked up a battery from Home Depot and installed it in the back-up unit to get us back on-line faster. We had service for a few hours before the real problem (bad power supply) manifested itself and our FIOS cut out again. When we checked, the Sunday service call was canceled, and my SO (who loves yelling at people on the phone, so I let him rail on this one) arranged a service call on Monday. Turns out, Verizon tests all home connections on a rotating basis. If the service comes back on, and a service call is outstanding for that unit, the existing trouble ticket is automatically canceled. Just one more way they shaft their service workers: put them on the hook to work on the weekend, then cancel with little notice or explanation. So, I think the Verizon strikers deserve all the support they can get.
