Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

You was right Obee, they are taking Bethpage away, what's next Bridgeport warehouse, and they want to do a aggressive fiber build, sure they are.

At least Oakland has the opportunity to bargain for the future. As an at will employee I will not have a say in any reductions in pay, healthcare, retirement, or benefits I currently receive. I have to just take what they give me.

A lot worse wait until 2018 the year of change

how much worse can it get?

LABOR LAWYERS’ VIEWS REGARDING ATS

Jeffrey Englander, a partner specializing in labor and employment law for New York law firm Morrison Cohen LLP, said there is usually little incentive to set up a separate entity like ATS other than to cut costs.

“They can dress it up anyway they wish to,” Englander said, adding, “But it sounds to me — to the extent there is either an increase in need for manpower or alternatively a reduction in that need — they could take the position [that] as a separate entity they are not obligated in any way to comply with that condition.”

Jane Lauer Barker, a partner specializing in labor and employment law at New York law firm Pitta & Giblin, said cost-cutting is usually the primary driver in such moves. “This wouldn’t be an unheard-of situation,” she said.

“This is something that always comes to mind in these firms — that they can cut down on their costs by spinning off this group of workers, setting up a new company that’s a new employer and shedding themselves of the obligation that the old employer might have.”

HOW MUCH WORSE CAN IT GET?

How about Barry Monopolì coming to you a saying:

1. "Sorry, but your current salary doesn't fit our BBT structure. You'll have to take a reduction."

2. "As previously communicated, ATS is a federal contractor, and moving forward, all techs will be paid 'piece work' "

3. "Sorry, but due to over-staffing here at ATS, and you being AT-WILL, we're gonna have to let you go."

Lol I thought it was just me. 0_o
