Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

This will be us in the future

Google fiber

After the company scaled back its ambitions last year a report suggests that Alphabet may be looking to spin off or sell Google Fiber sometime in the new year. The Information's paywalled report doesn't really offer any hard evidence of this claim, simply citing companies like CenturyLink as possible buyers should Google Fiber get tired of the telecom business. Google Fiber booted its CEO and a small number of employees last year after executives apparently got tired of the time consuming nature of the fiber build and the underwhelming uptake by consumers.

Not really, you just missed the point. Of course the union could not stop

That from happening. That the company's right to operate their day to day business. What I would stop would be the laying off those employees. You would have a contract and be placed back the coax plant, or whatever they come up with. But they couldn't just fire you .

Did u say we will be buying that system? Google was never committed to Fiber and that is not their business model. VZ is unionized and they stopped their Fios Build. How did the Union let that happen? Cry babies
