Why So Much Attention To Wire Techs

Those of us who have always worked under the core contract cannot imagine how badly the Wire Tech is treated. Walmart treats its people better, and the pay is not very different.

We could never have imagined that AT&T would turn the title into a churn job. They fire them regularly without cause. We have a number of Wire Tech termination grievances at the District level now.

The Wire Tech is not guaranteed 40 hours a week. If the work slacks off, they send them home. If the work picks up they force them to work long hours in terrible conditions. Safety is a bad joke. If they are injured on the job discipline is automatic. We are addressing that with OSHA.

We will be hearing more about the Wire Tech in the future. We have understated their working conditions. They are far worse than most could imagine.

why would you retire if you are making $30+ hourly, a job you cant get fired from, job security, good benefits, and don't do much work? I say.. stay and milk the ATT cow while you can

On August 19, 2015 an email was sent to ALL CWA wireline employees and their managers in the Southwest Region. The letter was asking for employees to take a voluntary severance package. The same thing happened to AT&T Southeast earlier this year. If the company doesn't get enough "volunteers" there will be some head count reduction.

Just as the management rowing race story, Humiliated, the American management laid off the rower for poor performance, halted development of a new canoe, sold the paddles, and cancelled all capital investments for new equipment. The money saved was distributed to the Senior Executives as bonuses and the next year's racing team was outsourced to India, sound just like the ATT plan
