Thread regarding CenturyLink layoffs

Wheres our union?

This is bs were able to work without hazard pay and putting ourselves and families at risk. If I were to die I'd be replaced same with all of you. This is ridiculous. I took my PTO. If we all say no what can they do? Even with a $25 or $50 gift card not worth it. Get it good to the house and I'm out but a cx will not tell me to wear a mask or take my temperature. I'm starting in Colorado. A coworker went in a house then after the customer said they had the covid-19 tested positive but couldnt be without internet. Starting tomorrow no homes I hope my fellow workers stay safe as well good luck to all

This is comical. You are all id–ts for working for CTL. They don't care about anyone and will not blink an eye if all of you walk out. There is no appreciation for your hard work and efforts, and if you think their is, your an id–t X 2. The best thing for all of you is to look for a better job and future! There will be hundreds of opportunities when the this pandemic takes a turn. Don't feel like you are in handcuffs because of the benefits. They will end up burning you in the end, no matter what your level of employment is. There is a world beyond CTL and don't wait until you get a heart attack or stroke to realize they just don't care.

Don’t go to work then. If your so worried about mask, go get one. Why does the company have to save your life? If your worried stop working like so many others. Damn! Bunch of babies. Do you wait for the government to provide a gun to protect your home or do you buy one yourself to protect your home. So why does the company need to provide you with PPE? Oh you think your doing them a favor by working? Your not, you get paid. There are a lot of my neighbors that would gladly go to work.

This guy is as dumb as the day is long. I suppose you buy your own high visibility vest, ladder lashing straps, climbing belt, body harness, hard hat, eye and ear protection, AC tester, etc. You sir, are a r—d.

Well easy to tell this person is a Manager or HR person that is working from home isn't it.

You should read some history, people will take control when desperate, more violence right now, more domestic violence, more child abuse happening, more burglaries. If the trend continues the people will act out and rebel out of desperate need and I am not talking having TP to wipe their back sides. A company that disrespects it's employees is a prime target as well. People attack those that are available and that add to their stress.

The elected union officials’ hands are tied. They have too much red tape to worry about to really be able to make any quick decisions. Never forget that you are the union, not them. The union is every employee who pays dues and goes to work everyday. It’s up to you. You make those decisions, and make sure the elected officials back you up knowing they will be voted out the next possible moment if they don’t. Unions never made it in the history books by waiting for some office person to do something for them. The employees collectively made decisions and actions that forced the company into treating them better.

I said to walk out 3 weeks ago. Stop doing the work with no hazard pay. Why would they pay us extra if they can get us to do the work right now?

Union is waiting for instructions from the company. They don't make a move without company approval.
