Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

You’re right, Unions ruined when they got child labor laws enacted, Safety, 8 hour workday, 5 day work week, healthcare, pensions, other benefits, holidays, actual contracts with agreed work rules, overtime to compensate help stop the long extreme work days. Read your history how sweatshops and children were worked to death with little pay and a lot of it was in Company script. They were basically indentured workers, the living expenses and food always cost more so they would be indebted to the company. Tons of Company towns not too many years ago. Nearly all your benefits and perks now are because Men and Women died fighting for those rights. Ever hear the song, I sold my soul to the company store. It’s about those days.

There is corruption in any organization if there aren’t any checks and balances. Like now we need some regulation on corporate capitalism for fairness and get rid of lobbyists that are for the wealthy. Unions need a checks and balances system too.

I am not sure why ‘keep voting republican, this is what you get’ As a comment in this sting has an impact on the decision making of ATT. Randy, stinky and mcfish are all liberals. Their compensation and greed is modeled just like liberal mo–ns Pelosi and all others where you get big Bonuses and pay for doing little. What am I missing other than the president taking a verbal whack when Randy announced his departure!!

The dysfunctional and incompetent leadership that OP describes is what brought in Eliott. A fish rots from the head, and as you notice, they have been driving change from the top. Stankface will be held accountable for HBO MAX.

It's hard to root for a bunch of greedy sob's in private equity, but sometimes they are useful.

Keep voting republican. This is what you get.

You are seeing the whole thing backwards,
corpirations run the country, it is Perfect world for them, No accountability! them and Government all together.

America has gone through this before during the Robber Barons heyday 1800’s to early 1900’s. Though not perfect, that’s why the Labor Unions started. Read history how they had to fight for better working conditions, contracts and accountability.

well in a perfect world yes - but since they did not get their wrist slapped it makes me wonder if they did exactly what they were suppose to do. dtv - k–led the competition. they already has some steak in dish tv because some employees were getting discounts with dish.

warner media - who knows what the point of this purchase - yet to be seen.

att is just a monopoly on a power trip k–ling competition and trying to get market share by force. I guess that is the stankey/randy way. when you compete evenly just buy them.
