TRENTON, N.J. (AP) - Verizon has won another court order that limits picketing by striking union workers - this time in New Jersey.

About 45,000 Verizon landline workers from Massachusetts to Virginia went on strike Sunday, fighting management demands for contract givebacks.

Company spokesman Rich Young said Verizon asked a New Jersey Superior Court judge for the injunction, after the company says it received numerous reports of sabotage, harassment and obstruction at its facilities. The judge granted the request Thursday night.

Based in New York City, Verizon has previously won injunctions in Delaware, New York, and Pennsylvania. It was seeking an order Friday in Massachusetts. A spokeswoman for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 827 declined to comment.

They are immoral.

getting in this country. For the most part the system is rigged against most citizens and it's just getting worse.

This is getting to remind me of the coal miners strikes, the strikes way back when people were over the top with all of the BS.

I think those days are coming back, if not, a lot of people in this country are eventually going to be serfs wandering about.

Is something like a virtual picket possible?

en to picket ANYWHERE?
