The recent news and updates regarding Verizon revealed of the strike and dismay against the company going global. Also, notions of Verizon low changes of winning the fight against the union workers further escalate.

The world has been watching the present ordeal that Verizon had to go through. It has marked an era of distressed calls for change and transformation. Also, the call has reached the ears of the global arena as well.

To prove the latter, it has even reached the shores of the Southeast Asian nations. Tim Dubnau knew that helping lead a strike of almost 40,000 workers against Verizon Communications was going to be tough. But he had no idea that he would find himself, as he did on Wednesday, crammed in the back of an unmarked white van, terrified, being chased through the streets of Alabang, a city on the outskirts of Manila, by a group of armed men on motorcycles, according to Fortune.

"It was like being in a movie-they were dressed all in black with masks and automatic rifles," Dubnau said, "At first they were demanding that we get out. One officer even hit the door with his gun. But we didn't open up, we knew our rights."

At the same time, the scenario got even worst when some unidentified men surrounded the van, and a SWAT team of heavily armed Philippine police officers surrounded the vehicle as well.

Inside the van with Dubnau, an organizing coordinator at the Communications Workers of America union, were three visiting strikers from the United States. They were joined by representatives from a local call center workers group called BIEN Pilipinas, fellow local labor group Kilusang Mayo Uno (KMU), and the international telecommunications union Uni, reports the same post.

Jobs & Hire formerly cited that It's a never-ending battle for Verizon and the union workers until all of their separate demands are met, and it appears that the outcome of the strike resulted into massive loss, tech firm's legacy facing a downhill curve and the demise of many businesses and enterprises.
