You people dont seem to understand. theres nothing separate, about what's going on where you are and where we are.
These companies are all interconnected like the public wifi we share. And the Verizon phone service you use on your work phone.
Ibew could not help us. Yes scabs didn't help but that's neither here or there. Regardless of who jumped anywhere the industry has changed as a whole. No union can change that as ibew proved. We stroked for almost 2 years now with no results except for alot of brothers who lost their homes, marriage, etc etc. It didn't help that ibew called the surprise strike without a vote. Because 2 years prior we couldn't secure a contract. So in all we've been without a contract for over 4 years.
I tell you this because too many of you are douche bags with smart mouths that speak out your behinds. Every post is lies, promises, malicious, spiteful, and childish selfishness. You are part of the problem why unions today are weak.
But regardless there was no stopping anything that happened between our companies. It's just that most of you didn't help you rather be online jackoffs. We've been paying ibew for nothing. All that was left was job security and they cant even provide that anymore. So we are voting them out. Now they will try to get their money from you. Like id--ts you'll think they care and your good. You'll learn the hard way like we did their no better than the corporations we love to hate.
Once they are gone from here. You better believe these companies will want the same thing Charter achieved. All I will tell you is do not strike. You wont get anything for it. Trying to look out for my fellow techs and engineers. But feel free to take what I said personal and make jokes. Our hell is ending yours is just starting. Do what's right for yourself and family. Brotherhood has its limitations.
