Thread regarding Altice USA (Cablevision) layoffs

Question for you union guys

Just exactly what are you going to do for us

I don't understand why everyone is so full of hate for what has gone on here over the past year or so. Just because you have a union doesn't mean a damn thing as I see it look what happened to spectrum. What can you bring to the table to prevent that.

I am not a union organizer i do not need to convince you of anything I'm good and I am in a secure situation I wanted my fellow coworkers to be in the same situation, so keep doing you obviously your worried about something and need some guidance, unless your trolling for management if your on this site.

Boy that's some argument to make me want to join a union.

Oops they made a mistake of course I make mistakes but not with someones livlyhood. And notice there no support from Oakland Brooklyn or one of your union rep or spectrum saying a word.

The union represents the employees you vote to strike (employees) or not period it’s that simple. I would not have went on strike the union made a mistake have you ever made a mistake, they were not aware of the Altice factor I am pretty sure charter was and used those scabs as mercenaries. Did you ever make a mistake maybe by signing over to Ats for that 2%sign on bonus Jordan Mone? Instead in of having a guaranteed 5 years from the PSC or 2 from jersey.

Where's the answer. The answer is all the techs from here jumped ship to be scabs so they got experienced techs to fill in at 45 an hour so why would the company negotiate with the union that's the problem but let me say this to all those scabs spectrum isn't going to hang onto them all when the strike is over so I'm sure they will try crawling back here for a job. And as far as this place if you don't think you need representation for a company like this then you truly need to open your eyes. Id rather protect what I have left for me and my family then put my tail between my legs and take the beating from a company that would post your position faster then the newspaper posting your obituary if you died.

I’ll be whining all the way to the voting booth then “ding bat” who says that lol. If your a tech and go through the stuff we go through daily and don’t want representation after “we gave them a chance”, then “ding bat” you need to look in the mirror dude..

I Couldn't have said it better myself. Bravo!

We need to at least keep what we have before they pull some other excuse to why they are cutting something else.

You don’t understand why techs are full of hate? Have you been around for the last year? Have you been affected by any of the changes at all? And all the glitches in our vacation time, payroll and other day to day things. If you haven’t been then you sir are blessed. I wish I could see what’s going on through your eyes. But reality is we gave this company a chance and we don’t see a future or career here anymore all it looks like is a temporary position. So while we are here we might as well secure what we have for the time being, and get that resume up...UNION STRONG
