Ops call, a local tech asks if they will still be working directly on fiber work within central office environments out to the prem. Official response was " it depends on how the service is placed.

Those workers are supposed to be represented by IBEW
Is the NJ, PA union? And they want to replace with non union National techs?
Another tactic to improve the customer experience I see! They are like a fish out of the water! Wish I was around to watch em all flop around and struggle to stay alive! That would be priceless! Stay classy Centurystink!
