Thread regarding Comcast layoffs

UNION UNION

Lets go plant and installers techs! They need us, let's go! They need us to do all this work, look around you. Thousands laid off. Time to stabilize the remaining workforce.

Immediate Job Protections & Cost Savings

• Severance Packages: Unions negotiate standardized, guaranteed severance pay based on tenure, ensuring departing workers are not left at the mercy of arbitrary corporate policies.
• Health Insurance Extension: Labor contracts often secure extended healthcare coverage for laid-off employees, giving them a vital safety net while searching for new jobs.
• Seniority Protections: Collective bargaining agreements typically enforce a "last in, first out" rule, preventing management from targeting specific employees based on personal bias or higher salary brackets.

Look what they did to construction. This is such a smart option. Project managers have a project right now where regions plan to dispatch plant. Losing the autonomy to route yourself. There’s also more talk of plant going hybrid doing inside jobs and the only thing that’s slows it down is UNION talk!!

Keep in mind my experience is from years ago and their union has apparently gotten weaker over time, but when I worked for AT&T, CWA got the repair and splicing techs waaaaaay better health insurance than I had as a manager, an actual fu--ing pension, and double time once they worked more than ten hours of overtime in a week. Probably other benefits but those are the ones they liked to talk about.
