No union can tell any company how to run their business. As long as your still a full time employee with same pay & benefits, there is not much the union can do. Just to be clear this was a temporary project with the expectation that everyone would eventually return back to the field. The vacation is over guys, good luck with those routes cause your all in for a rude awakening. Not many guys are left.

No one spent 17 billions dollars you don't know how the system works , rich ppl don't invest there money... these is why cablevisio was great , because they old man sacrificed and worked hard to get cablevision to what it was , these new owner is just a big clown and and a very good mathematician, but please do your research before you sound ignorant. Facts matter

just to clarify, Fiber project is NOT "shut down", they just removed all in-house techs from it.

  • is this correct?
  • has management communicate anything to you guys about this? and why?
