You're probably thinking..... wait a minute.... we're not unionized. A strike? Well, these are the issues that you will experience should Altice go too far. Of course, their plan of action can occur before the signing or at the end, of your first contract. JUST BE PREPARED and make the wise decision.... that is good for yourself and your family. Let's begin...
What is strike pay and how much would I receive?
When strikers stop working, they do not receive their normal paychecks, but they will receive some money from the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Strike Fund. Many local unions also maintain their own strike funds to help their workers through difficult times. Local strike benefits are determined by the local. Strike benefits from the International Union are based on the following formula:
If you earn less than $11 per hour, you will receive between $75 and $110 per week. For all other members, strike pay is equivalent to four times your monthly dues amount per week. For example, if your monthly dues payment is $70, you will receive $280 per week (70 x 4 = 280).
If you wish to find out more, here's the link from which the above information was received. This is NOT the IBEW rules. But it is close. Again, in your next meeting, ask the union spokesman, that if such a scenario were to occur, based on other contracts, what "roughly" your pay would be? BE PREPARED and ask the questions that matter!!!
