Topics regarding layoffs at Altice USA (Cablevision)

Organizing a union?

Can a technician that was involved in a union vote and lost under "USA" and is now "ATS" try to organize another election and not have to wait a full year since they are now technically another company?

Last week for the ServiceDesk at Bethpage

Please make sure that if you speak to the ServiceDesk full timers this week, to say good bye. Friday is their last day in NY. We will miss everyone leaving.

The company is hiring people that are not qualified for the jobs on purpose to lay them off. I know one of my friends who has no experience in the field, he was hired at a senior level position without any real checks.

The layoffs

Is this sham of a company giving retirement packages to people with a lot of time with the company? How about the people who've only been there for a few years? Is there a severance package? Unemployment doesn't pay people enough to live.

Bye Bye RCC

It was announced today that RCC/Dispatch Dept. is being laid off. Last day June 29th.

The name game.

So it would seem in an effort to mask turning cablevision in-house techs into contractors the new name is "associate".

How is ATS treating you techs

Just curious of how the scam artist is treating there employees through the footprint. Spoke to 2 different shops and they are not pleased at ALL.

Fudge

Fudging fiber footage to get Altice USA to pay ATS bills. Crews are hanging fiber and not lashing per company orders. If a contractor were to do this they would A) not be paid B) never hired again.

I want my sick days back, I want my bonus back, I want a salary on par with Verizon and other utility workers. I want job security Try getting that on your own without the union and tell me how that goes for you

NY area is in no shortage of IT jobs!
