|  Comcast & state not issue; Blumenthal desire for limelight..
.. is the main issue.
This is just another state Attorney General that aspires to higher office trying to get his name in the limelight whenever possible, in the manner of Elliot Spitzer from NY.

| Wont work weekends?
Did they realy just use that as an excuse? Wow AT&T ya ever think the people your paying might want/have a life outside of work? Might want to be able to enjoy that paycheck?
On a seperate note, all calls are answered within 10 seconds...by a computer. Well geeze if thats the new standard of service, then i guess im available 24/7 since my voicemail answers all MY customers calls withing 10 seconds too! |

| 1,000 in 10 years?!?!
1,000 people in 10years is not a big number. I'm not sure why they think that but it could be a lot worse. Look at the Automakers and see how many they havent laid off within the last two years. It's more than over a 1,000. But then again thats why the Union Employees at GM now get a base rate starting at $14.50 an hour and not their old $35. |

There is nothing to say that you can not have a Tuesday to Saturday and/or Sunday to Thursday work week. That way the worker gets some weekdays off and the company gets weekend coverage. I am sure that some workers would be willing to trade weekend work for free weekday time. When I worked in a 24/7 Computer Center that was the way we were scheduled. |

Re: Mob controlled unions
I guess I have to thank the mob for my benefits.
Somebody has to because down here in South Florida the company-AT&T has implemented non-union workers to work inside-pass the interphase. Since these workers are non-union the company pays them about half of what we make, force them to work on their off days, AND worse the company is FIRING them on the spot for any positive comments made about the union. The mob controlled union down here(in the original 9 state Bellsouth region) turned down the premise tech because the company wanted them to work on the plant as well. Premise techs work on the Re-Verse(U-Verse) and they work inside doing from inside wire work to television programming. So thanks again to the mob controlled unions, thanks for fighting for the little guy. |

When I worked in a 24/7 Computer Center that was the way we were scheduled. I recently worked a Saturday in trade for a Monday off rather recently. So I don't think the union weekend thing holds water. Some of us don't mind working weekends to get days off in the week.

Re: Wont work weekends?
but perhaps the contract says extra pay on weekends and thats why no one does it as maybe at&t is requiring a weekday off for the weekend, thus screwing the weekend pay |
