It's hard to believe that you guys and gals are so gullible and meekish concerning your situation. And it is apparent that you didn't get it. "Wake-up calls" are assurances of "not over-sleeping", or missing an appointment or opportunity. Clearly, the majority of the responses in this website ARE declaring a "wake-up" call. There are many who are nodding-off at the wheel. And as you know.... a crash always follows. And don't assume Altice will send for an ambulance right away. They will watch as you lay there dormant. You were the driver. You should've known better. And it;s obvious most of you are DUI..... Driving Under the Influence.... banking on false and hopeless dreams... thinking your new employer has your best intentions in mind. There are many unemployed. Finding a replacement is no big deal. But, one neighborhood slang comes to mind.... "Payback's a Bit-- !. A vote FOR a union will throw a huge monkey wrench into their plans. They're messing with your future. It's time to mess with theirs. What have you got to lose? If it doesn't pan out, you were leaving anyway. Signing a union card simply means that "someone else" will do the talking for you, "someone else" will do the listening, and "someone else" will hear the B.S. Altice lawyers will spew out. Nothing is agreed upon until union members vote on it. Altice will have to try to "influence" your union representative. Good luck with that. That is why any employer would prefer a "non-union atmosphere. Lions and tigers are successful when they draw out the weakest of the herd. And know this, YOU ARE DEALING WITH A TIGER. This isn't some french a-hole. He's shooting for the moon and will do "whatever it takes" to get there. And do not be shocked, if at the present time, outside contractors are being trained RIGHT NOW as replacements, should there be a wild-cat strike or work stoppage. Altice gathered Cablevision's labor histories and clearly saw "what worked" and "what didn't." THEY ARE NOT STUPID nor are they sleeping behind the wheel, like most of you. While you stall to take action, they are preparing. THERE WILL BE NO SURPRISE FOR THEM. And so, again, I beg all you guys and gals, to "smell the coffee" and wake your behinds up. You've only lmown Altice since they became your new employer a few months ago. And yet, some of you are willing to marry the first girl you meet. How pathetic. From the words of the story of the Trojan horse, the character Lacoon said, ".... Beware of Greeks bearing gifts. Do not trust enemies who bring you presents — they could very well be playing a trick." YOU HAVE BEEN TRICKED !!!

Obeeone, all the points you make are valid but we're dealing with shops of technicians that are completely DIVIDED (by design)
You have any suggestions on getting clueless technicians to unite?
You have any suggestions on getting scared senior techs to stand up and be leaders?
Bronx screwed up already and cannot unionize again until 2018.
Oakland has a chance if they don't allow Hilber to scare the crap out of them.
Regardless, Altice moving full steam ahead with their plans of shedding more salary. That is a guarantee.
once they s---er us fools over to ATS, they'll have full autonomy over the terms of our employment.
IMHO, it's all over for us.
Yeah I think it's too late as well. Everyone was a bad azz 3 months ago but now the drive is dead. Had 1 shop jumped things would be different today. I hope I'm wrong but I don't think Oakland will pull the trigger.
The majority are weak and do not have the support from their peers . It is a "taking care of me and family mentality". But little do they realize we are all stronger if we stay together. It is to late now . Altice USA has won .
