Laziness has no bounds...learn to use Google, it is your friend. I agree with the below poster, plenty on the internet. People crying here about being let go but as soon as you say union, you want to find justification in firing. Makes me wonder if you realize you're cutting yourself at the knees. Jobs are unionized for a reason. These folks are not your enemies. There are many who want to earn a fair wage. Forget about all the stupidity being said. Stop being spoon fed everything.

I also read the CWA release and saw no mention of what happened. I can see where @280 is coming from. And squar was funny as hell, both union and management idiots out there...
@280 If you don't now why she was fired then you are very uninformed. Articles have been floating around and even the company came out. All she did was step in on the company trying to reprimand an employee. She was the shop stewart and had every right to be there and since it was recently unionize, how dare she do this? Don't immediately throw people under the bus because you want to look at things so twisted. If you really wanted to know, you'd research the internet versus talking stupidity and sounding ignorant here. Unless you were directly involved and don't appreciate the bad press.
Ah SQUARE!! Loved reading that. It was comical and as a new employee at the time made me realize and wonder how some people ever got hired. I just never understood how many people we had that seemed to lack any self awareness. I still wonder how many of the people we still have working at the company manage to get through a day.
LOL - Did we bring back these candy apples as well?
SQUAR. I remeber, so comical. A manager was remodeling his rental homes during the day. Glad GPS trackng is here to put an end to that abuse.
No wonder we are so top heavy.
280 don't get your skirt all in a knot would you please, bad apples every where.....
Why can't the union press release people express clear, coherent thoughts? This was like reading the Unibomber's manifesto. Good grief!
Let's hear what Bianca was fired for, the CWA article certainly doesn't say. I'm guessing it was a CoC violation. The union always has a way of bringing back bad apples. Makes me harken back to four individuals that were dabbling about in offshore casinos via their center work-stations. They were promptly fired. Of course there was a CWA sympathy campaign launched through local media. The media reported that the four high rollers were running a Superbowl pool, nothing more, such as violating federal laws. Anyway, guess who's back?
And what ever happened to SQUAR? I miss the quarterly security reads where some of our best and brightest were passed out in company vehicles with syringes hanging out of their arms. The guy in his VZ gear purchasing liquor every day at 1030. Or that employee who was moonlighting as a robber while on the job. Did we bring back these candy apples as well?
