Be sure to tune in . . . if you can
I'll definitely be tuning in . . . if nothing else but to see if Comcast's network is up to the task of delivering the content, and my Comcast connection is up to the task of receiving it.
A speaker for the CWA noted that in spring '02, they met with Comcast, and were assured 'good faith' bargaining would take place. With that assurance, the CWA did not oppose merger. They now feel betrayed.
said by CWA representative (sorry, I didn't get his name):Workers in Pittsburgh will not be bullied or bribed into giving up our rights. (snip) We want a fair contract now.

Re: All shareholder proposals were passed

Yes. As part of the merger, the Roberts family basically have a controlling interest in the voting stock for at least 5 years. Shareholder mtgs are merely rubber stamps for what they want.
The only humor in the mtg was that woman with a bad accent telling every one how smart she was and how she only deals with CEO's and no one lower. But by the end of the mtg the other stockholders in attendance were getting really annoyed with her. They even booed her at the end. -- I found out that all the important lessons of life are contained in the three rules for achieving a perfect golf swing: 1.Keep your head down - 2. Follow through - 3. Be born with money

In addition to voting stock, it seems Comcast plans to do nothing to accommodate the new NASDAQ rule regarding director independence (Nasdaq Refines Director and Committee Rule Proposals). Either they don't have to, or they plan to squeeze through loopholes thereby violating the spirit of the rule. I really couldn't tell which.
I am a stockholder of comcast because i am a stockholder of att(actually my parents are as i don't own any stock). But isn't it basically like att was where if there is a major like merger or selloff or buyout taking place you get proxies in the mail as a shareholder and you can either vote your proxy via the internet or send it snail mail? I remember when att bought tci and media one and sold broadband to comcast i had to advise my mom how to vote. Of course i told her to approve the mergers at the time.
Prior to the buyout merger, "the family" controlled the vast majority of the voting stock. So as long as they all agreed, they were guaranteed to get stockholder approval. But now, the merged ex-attbi stockholders have voting stock, so "the family" only controls something like 33% (I think?)
To toss in additional complications, workers are now stockholders. The CWA wasn't very happy with the no-promises-honored Comcast style. That dude from Pittsburgh was downright angry!
I know about that. It was in the post-gazette last week. I believe the local cwa union wants to go on strike soon because comcast promised the pittsburgh area so many jobs but instead slashed 1/3 of the jobs here when they merged. So yes the union is basically pissed at comcast right now. here's a link to the fuss going on right now: »www.post-gazette.com/pg/03122/181419.stm
