actually if you read the earnings statement you will see that wireline revenues’ dropped 27%. About 60% of the unions jobs are on the wireline side. so you tell me - if in your job your revenues’ are down 27% and that has being going on for like 4 qtrs straight now – does it make good business sense to give those employees raises?
Its an accounting slide,actually wired lines have leveled off and profits increased about 2%, at&t uses wires for uverse and does not count them as pots line, even though they actually were(are) pots copper.PROFIT 1st quarter 3.1 BILLION Unions and copper paid to build wireless and now wireless is paying to build uverse.The economy will never recover if greed takes away the tax paying middle class.
