Re: Unions YOU KNOW LITTLE ABOUT UNIONS & WHAT IS RIGHT.senior members have paid their dues & that is that.you say that people should be laid off by preformance.well one persons performance is not another's.for instance I am a core tech.the vcs techs bust their butts & do 5 or more jobs a day while we do 2 or 3 in cable maintanence.well we are swamped with jobs that could have been fixed by vcs.some they do not even go out on-just fail it to cable.most times we can not even trust that the cable they fail it to is right.the number crunchers love vcs & hate us.well i know that most customers I see have service at the end of the day.
they had layoffs in the 70's.most got recalled when the times improved.I feel that if it is so slow why not take a gang of techs into an area that has a bad cable situation & switch them all over to fios.they will have great service-we have our foot in the door for tv & we save on dispatching 100 techs into the same area every week.makes sense to me however Verizon management is not known for being too smart[.9 trucks-not getting the iphone-screwing fios customers bills & not correcting it...].Face it Verizon makes money in spite of itself.don't try to figure it out-you never will.
just remember YOU are the union.You bad mouth the union & you loose.How many times did you stand up to management?how many times did you take action?YOU ARE THE UNION & if it sucks you have no one to blame but yourself.It may take a statewide walkout or something as small as leaving 20 dead fish in your bosses office on a weekend to get their attention.
I have told many a vcs tech to do a quality job.they can not fire you for that.they can fire you for stealing or being off base.be on base & do quality work & maybe we will have some customers in the years to come. |
