Ok gotta rant and rave a little

Found this website about what the top ceo's make, here's one for att

If you already dont know but our contracts for wire line employees expires on April 4 at midnight, and att is playing poor and not wanting to give the pt a fair and reasonable contract. They are saying there is a failing wireline market. But if you think about most people are starting to drop there second land line that they had for dialup and just using dsl on one line saving money and a lot are also dropping dial tone all together, switching to voip or wireless. Att is saying they loosing all these customer's but the wireless sector is gaining leaps and bounds. Take a look at Time Warner, Comcast, Dish, and who ever, they are starting to hurt for business in areas that uverse is penetrating. Att tv service is slowly climbing the charts.

So after the 4th there is probabley going to me a long and lengthly strike, this will be for about 110,000 employees that are in the cwa. This includes PT, IR, Tier 1, Tier 2 basicly every employee that deals with wires in the states!

Here is the cwa website if you wanna read up on the contract nego.  http://district6.cwa-union.org/bargaining/

Just a little fyi!

If the strikes actually happen I bet it will be all over the news. I hope it all works out!

It's hard to imagine with that many employees striking at the same time that a deal wouldn't be reach very soon if a strike did occur. I remember this happened last year to with Verizon and it went to the wire but CWA and VZ got a deal done.

They are handing out the strike sced this week i think. Like uverse guy said the gonna pull it off at the last min, b/c there is no way the managers and retires that havnt dont anything in forever can pull it off for 2 day or even a week, its gonna shut att down if a 110,000 employees walk.
