Take San Diego's example, don't unionize.

San Diego call center was closed past year and work was moved to Tustin (1.5 hour drive).

Half of the impacted bargained employees left ATT. Did the office closure make sense, no. On a larger scale it does because it's all about cost cuts.

San Diego local President probably had too many B. Lights because he allowed ATT to roll his membership. All grievances were removed along with all board charges. Nothing was fought because he landed a new job that wouldnt require him to follow the work. Unionization isn't the solution. You are on your own.

Unionization isn't the solution.

Yes it is. Look at history and look at why corporations are so desperately try to prevent unionization. Google and Amazon nearly sh-t themselves.

An engineering union would attract new talent to the company. A 4-day work week would attract new talent to the company. You want to be a revolutionary company that's making big waves in the media? Be the first to do it.

Stankey has no backbone to take risks after fumbling WMD. Without risks, the company will sink. Stankey needs to stop looking at employees at the problem, and start looking at why we are not addressing the needs of the consumers first. Right now is THE BEST TIME to become competitive again. People are suffering from rising costs. ADDRESS IT NOW.

Simply the pricing. Bundle Spotify. Do literally anything that's not sinking us into irrelevancy. Stop being mediocre and stand out from the crowd.

I know his attorneys read these forums like hawks. Hopefully they can take something out of this, but my fingers aren't cross.

(1) building sold off over 10 years ago and least back for 10 years
Least expired and owner wanted T out
T had built a really nice CoGen plant on site back in the day
(2) if you worked there and didn’t see the train coming down the tracks? To bad So sad
(3) The local P got a one time good deal and got a Central Office job close to home
Go figure

You have those that say upper management lies
You have those that say the Union lies

That's not really the question, is it?

The question at this point is, would it annoy the company and cost it money? Then it's worth doing.

The reasons I opposed unions for most of my career no longer matter.

For example if you think you are well paid due to your performance, forget it. With the recent salary range changes, pretty much everyone in a title makes the same salary. Your years of top ratings are worth squat.

It would take you another 10 years to build up any headroom above anyone else. And then they'll just flatten it again, because they don't trust supervisors to manage "equity" the way they now want.

The "managers" should unionize.
