 SteveConIBEW 2222 Boston, MAPremium join:2004-09-02 Boston, MA | "..don't want FiOS to succeed" Stating that Verizon installers "dont want FiOS to succeed" is purely BS. First and foremost, the IBEW in New England is firmly behind Verizon's deployment of FiOS, and actively supports the company's endevours for statewide franchises. FiOS is Verizon's future - and we IBEW members know it.
As far as "dragging our feet" goes, New England is home to some of the harshest weather in wintertime and is "right up there" with heat and humidity in summertime. Also consider that the plant infrastructure here is among the oldest around and can result in complications for an installation.
Combine these scenarios and it is plain to see that the AVERAGE install time can skyrocket. Working in a young physical plant in comfortable weather makes the work flow much smoother and a s a result, quicker.
The "insider" seems more like an outsider to me. -- United we bargain, divided we beg. |
