Re: So what's on CNN and Fox today about the stimulus package? said by fatmanskinny:The union is going to strike and walk away from the table while workers are being let go by the thousands weekly? No one will actually strike. Their bargaining position stinks. AT&T will ultimately win this one. Especially since their "final offer" isn't that bad.

Inflation is on the horizon and anyone who locks themselves into a 2% increase is a fool.
Plus I love the veiled threats in the letter sent out by AT&T...
Regardless, this is just normal back and forth in a contract negotiation...

This is NOT the case. There is a process in place to get rid of any employee that doesn't adhere to company policy. In the building trades, workers can be let go on the spot.
Do yourself a favor by letting go of the talk show circuit, they're just leading us further down the path of outsourcing all of our manufacturing base under the guise of "competition" |
