unions and at&t are a freakin' joke!

Union leadership is boldly telling a whopper here. Look at the past mergers at&t/SBC has undertaken, over the last, oh ... 10 years or so. Go back and look at SBC's "merger" with Pacific Telesis. It didn't add jobs, it didn't even bolster competition. Then look at SBC's "merger" with SNET, where were jobs added? Okay, now, let's look at SBC's "merger" with Ameritech. No new jobs!

In each case, the company buying the other company, eliminated jobs, where overlap occurs. That's not creating new jobs! That's eliminating jobs!!

Once upon a time, the unions were badly needed in America. They did what was needed, but I strongly feel they have outlived their purpose. If you have a crap boss that hates you, quit and go get another job. You don't need a union to argue on your behalf, in the grievance process.

I'm not surprised unions are favoring this though. They've wanted to get hooks into T-Mobile for a while now. Similarly, CWA wants to expand into IT, and they have for many years now.
