1 edit | Re: Strike Yea, I have a 401k, PENSION that I can cash out right now for $500,000 if I decided to leave... fully paid medical, dental and vision, 5 weeks vacation, 4 personal days.. and Im more than doubling my salary in OT ! You do better than this?? Wow, lucky you.
All of this wouldnt be possible if we werent unionized . Why?? because greedy people like you run my company and would love to pay contractors $10 an hour with no benefits for the same work. This country would go right down the shitter. | |

1 edit | Re: Strike Giving a little back turns into a LOT down the line. Let the big corporations charge more for their services to properly treat their workers. Im not rich, and none of my co-workers are either. NEVER GIVE IN TO GIVEBACKS.
[sarcasm]Since youre so concerned about the status of Quest's profits, get your checkbook and make a donation. Set an example as to how the workers should GIVE BACK. Make a give back yourself.[/sarcasm] | |

| I'm a union member for Qwest, and as I remember what put this company in the toilet was Joe Nacho pulling an Enron scandal. He and his upper management cohorts single handily ruined this company and now the occupational employees have to pay the cost with a reduction in workforce and bending over backwards in cuts and balances during negotiations. Remember right after Nacho pulled his crap how the CWA members agreed to take no pay raises for 2 years and extend their current contract to help keep the company solvent? That was on the heel of a scandal that cost many workers over half of their retirement funds. We have guys to this day that can't afford to retire because of that. We kept this company from having to file bankruptcy with our extension and the thanks we get is the threat of having our healthcare premiums increased over 400%. We do pay some contribution to healthcare as it is. The rest of our unionized industry does not. So, the way I see it, we have bent over backwards to help this company survive and now that they have a little solvency and are gaining positive cashflow they have forgotten all we have done for them. I say strike, if we have to, to protect what we have all worked so hard for. | |
