Spectrum workers in New York express anger after a month on strike

https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2017/04/28/spec-a28.html

Two thousand technicians have been on strike for a month in New York City and nearby New Jersey against Spectrum, formerly Time Warner Cable, which was acquired by Charter Communications in a $65 billion mega-merger in 2016. Spectrum, one of the largest providers of telephone, Internet and cable TV services in the country, wants to shift the costs of health care and pensions onto workers. Workers are also fighting the company’s practice of disciplining them for customer problems caused by Spectrum’s failure to carry out infrastructure repairs and improvements.

Hahaha Altice employees jump to Charter making anywhere from $45-48 hr doe... And on top of that they will bee keeping that $$$$ even if the union does settle on contract and they will be getting all the other benefits. And the charter techs will have to reapply for there positions if there are any left

You can strike all day long and no one cares. Former Cablevision employees are coming in left and right and are getting PAID!!! Some are making over $10 bucks more per hour than they were getting at Altice. You guys know they are already calling Charter "Chartervision" because of all the familiar faces. You guys better get your butts to the bargaining table and agree on something and fast or you will be trying to get a job with Altice. Good Luck to you all.

No wonder you guys are losing the war. Look at that article... one of the very few you get and only 4 comments. Where is the support? Where is the public uproar from the Union and your families?This is not 1962 just standing outside and picketing, use the internet to your advantage. You guys are out of your league against Rutledge and his management team. use the digital age to create your own media, facebook, instagram, etc. A BIG JOKE. I hope you have your rain coats. GET WITH THE TIMES. Flood review sites with negative reviews to discourage future employees. Do you even have a plan?
