You really have to question the intelligence of a person who comes on here and wants me to be upset with higher up union officials that make 2 or 3 times what the worker makes when at the same time the top executives of corporations are pulling down... — read more

TSG these days...
Working under altice is not the same as working under Cablevision... I can say I don't only speak for myself as I've spoken with many,many of my co workers lately..morale at Jericho is low..The higher ups are expecting TSR reps to be fast and... — read more
Guessing?
Stop the surmising. Never heard of dynamic routing from Altice. Only Cablevision years ago. And never heard of 1 job at a time. Until recently I was miserable thinking about Altice and there way of buisness. No more. Im trusting my manager and sup... — read more
What is strike pay and how much would I receive?
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... — read more
Say you are "unionized" and the contract runs out. The union calls for a strike... what's next?
This is only for your information. Make an educated decision and then decide. Not just for "the now", but for the future. Work overtime and save, save, save. Pay down credit cards. During a strike, your cash is usually limited. You don’t want to have... — read more
ATS CONTRACTING.
so here's some bits of puzzle for you to chew on. The company awhile back mentioned dynamic routing and how certain areas will be removed from our routes and given to other contract companies. This falls in line with a few things one of which ATS... — read more
Guess how much your UNION representatives are paid yearly. You'll be blown away!
One of the problems I've always had with unions is HOW MUCH these guys get paid for "talking" with your company while YOU were marching around with picket signs. And YOU don't want to know what your compensation during a possible strike. It will be... — read more

...then who will be left to work with the existing coax network? All contractors?
Long island, oakland, lodi, newark...you guys think you can get it done and set the trend? I hope so. No more mgmt bs here..
Hope you guys in those other shops have the balls to get it done. It be nice to see you guys set the trend. You would get alot of respect from other shops and would probably follow suit. Plus you would gain respect from other union shops..verizon... — read more
Contractor
I had a discussion with a x sup today and exactly what we are assuming is exactly what they said we are headed to a contractor way of life. No insight of pay and benefits but was warned to start looking for a new job or accept being a contractor. If... — read more
Still more anti union drivel
"Merit also ceases to matter when unions guarantee members their jobs. It’s one thing to demand that workers not be fired for forming a union, for demanding that employers obey labor laws, or for negotiating for better pay and benefits. It is... — read more
More anti union drivel
"Some argue that unions devalue a worker’s merit. The idea is that, at a union company, no matter how skilled a worker is, he may only progress at the same rate as all union members progress; in other words, rate of progression is scripted by the... — read more

What do you think is going to happen?
Am I right that ATS has no obligation to retain employees for a certain amount of time like Altice does? This is just an underhanded (actually pretty typical of corporate/Wall St types) way for them to shed employees when they said they wouldn't. If... — read more
Is this acceptable?
"Assuming ATS is configured as an independent entity, it will not be required to adhere to the NY PSC order prohibiting reductions of Cablevision’s customer-facing workforce in New York State, which theoretically could allow Altice to dramatically... — read more
Anti union pushers
How's that been working out for all of us? Let me guess, we can all be 25 million dollar a year CEOs if only we would work hard and put our noses to the grindstone? Reality alert - NO, WE CAN'T !! Take a look at this country over the past 35 years... — read more

A quote from the person who we are supposed trust that he has our best interests in mind.....
“I don’t like to pay salaries. I pay as little as I can,” Drahi said soon after the deal was signed, adding that Cablevision has “many layers of people that are highly paid. This will change.” http://thecablevision99.org/?p=1201

More Corporate Layoffs
Does anyone know about anymore corporate layoffs. Not anything to do with techs or unions. I'm simply talking about corporate.
This site used to be good.
This site was very good to get factual information about layoffs, department cuts etc. Now it has become a venting site where employees or Unions just some in to convince others to share their views. Scare tactics from unions, from employees and... — read more

5yrs is a pipe dream and you clowns happy with the promise of 5yrs of work from altice wow...what does that say about you all .this is a sad movie playing out and the ending will not be good.
Please !!!!!!!
Drop the package age and let me get outta here !!!!
Does Altice trade on American Stock Exchanges? If so what is symbol? I don't seem to see it listed.
If so it's probably time to short the hell out of it. The leadership has no people skills.
Don't accept the contracting gig!
When another company comes in and offers to do the job for 20% less than they're paying you, you're gone!
