Any other shops beside Oakland and Lodi being forced to change their shifts to work all weekend?

A lot of bird brain comments. Being angry about it is one thing who wouldn’t be. Not a darn thing you or any union can do about it.

Having the entire staff in on the weekends to service twice the amount of customers is the point. Those of you left have a job to install and service customers. Not to make your life easier. You sound like lazy Verizon techs.

But if the company forces more guys to work Saturday and Sunday they can double book those days dummy. Instead of halving half the work force in they have the entire workforce in. There will only be critical calls on Tuesday Wednesday handled by contractors. See you Saturday and Sunday.

Wow, you really are a dum dum. They would prefer to have everyone work all weekend so they can double the workforce on Saturday and Sunday. It's strange that you're having trouble understanding the reasoning for this. We really do have some r—ded people working for this company. Do you actually think they prefer to have all the guys working a staggered shift? You actually think they give a f— about your family? That's hilarious! And you will absolutely be forced into this and you will not be able to do anything about it.

What are you talking about, we work weekends already with staggered shifts. Sun-thurs and tues - sat. Weekends covered. Most people have families, no reason to be forced to work the whole weekend. Dummie.

Read and understand your contract. The company can give in some cases 14 day notice for shift changes depending what was agreed upon. Ask for volunteers 1st and if no takers then they go by inverse seniority.

Weekends are when your customers want you out to fix things, you dummies.

This is definitely a ploy to get us to quit. They won’t get that satisfaction from me especially in these trying times where no company is hiring. If working weekends is what it takes to keep my job and benefits then be it. May God protect us and hopefully give these devils the karma they deserve for being greedy and self centered with no regards for the working class or their families.

"Seems to be a forced thing in all nj union shops to eliminate contractors, but we’ll see". This is you saying it, but not saying it. So where did this thought come from? Did it come from some other genius, or is this a thought that is dancing in your empty head? This is why you're an id–t. They want to eliminate all of us and you still have delusions that they want us around and want to force out contractors. WE ARE CONTRACTORS!

I love how you think this move is to eliminate contractors. This move is to show they can do whatever they like and f— you however they like. This move is definitely to get you to quit. So enjoy working Thursday to Monday, forever. Going to s— when you burn all your days to have a few weekends off.

Time is ticking down I’m sure you can put up with working a few weekends before we’re all gone. Don’t be stupid it’s what they wanna do and we are not part of the plan. I doubt we even get a severance package like the other technicians that we’re laid off. Dude doesn’t look good I will be using my sick time on weekends.
