A strike is happening this Friday, I promise. Hang on, let me find my talking points they gave me.

"The relocation of jobs to call centers in Mexico, the Philippines, the Dominican Republic and other countries is one of the main issues in negotiations. A recent CWA report charges that in the Dominican Republic, for instance, where it uses subcontractors, wages are $2.13-$2.77/hour. "

The question is who benefits from economic growth, only upper management, only the 1%?
Problems competing in the market are not the fault of the hardworking people who do the work everyday or the union that helps them get a living wage and benefits.
Poor decisions by the slackers in upper management are the history of this companies problems but as always they and their wannabes point the finger at everyone else and take no responsibility themselves.
People... unions have become nothing but economy growth paralyzers. They are like the Debbie downer of anything exciting, innovative, and actually useful. They opposed Uber, Lyft, self service check out lines at groceries stores and the list goes on. They are even oppose to hiring more high-skilled immigrants calling the tech community "greedy" for wanting to explore foreign engineers. Wow!
Its a competitive market and if we are not revelant we are replaceable, sure! Don't show up to work, that's a brilliant idea. Show your actual team you are not a team player and you are ok with them taking your workload because you drank some 1940s kool aid
Look I am not trying to be rude, I just hope you don't ride the union wagon to oblivion
Wow you're on pace to make 270k this year? Clearly that's a lie. You're not even smart enough to make your lie believable. But let's pretend you have made 135k in "6 months this year" (it's May you uneducated, ignorant Trump-loving piece of human trash). If thats the case, then 1) you'll be laid off soon (no loss), and 2) T really is excited for your 2.5 day obesity-fest. Cheers!
What do we want ?? And when do we want it ????
What a JOKE. A 1/4 to 1/2 business day strike? With all of the issues surrounding the Trump administration, this will barely make it into the evening news.
good info, people who don't work for a union are naive to the benefits of the union, can't help them, so i don't try but i'm union strong and it pays to work for a union, stay strong and stay united ignore the trolls and haters they will always exist most are bitter bec they don't get the benefits a union brings us
Lol troll boy, with all the OT I've made off the T this year I could go out for a 6month vacation at 135k ytd in less than 6m into the year!! So keep spewing your BS 💩
Morons. And AT&T gets 2.5 free days without having to pay your lazy butts.
No managers coming to help in our area , just store mgmt, strike is a joke, nobody even knows what they're striking for here, they were just told they can leave at 3 on Friday and picket for a couple hours then come back to work Monday . Literally. No organization in this area. Union is a joke, just another place that takes your money so they can line their pockets. What have they ever done for anybody? Better pay?? Try telling that to someone who makes minimum wage when RSC pay checks are 60-80 grand. And if it isn't , it's your own fault, if you hate your job----- LEAVE- nobody forcing you to stay. Enjoy your weekend off ( without pay). Where's your good old union when you lose 3 days pay? Oops.. Sorry...no help there.
Got the confirmation as well! No agreement by Friday and we're walking out. AT&T is bringing managers in from other areas to cover.
Best post ever. "Hang on..." stay strong guys. Technology evolves Companies evolve People need to evolve and this union hasn't. Authorized Retail is doing pretty well without CWA.
Wgaf just get work !! Lazy f
Yes! I just got confirmation as well. I'm a DTV tech from San Diego and they told us that unless the company comes up with a tentative agreement we're all going on strike.
No one really cares.
