Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Having all the current management salaried people union would save the company millions. Everyone would be hourly and have to check in and out 3 times a day, and the bonus program would no longer exist in its current form. Oh and your healthcare options would be reduced.

"And now the cost of your home, car, , college…… have all continued to increase due to the cost of Union labor."

Absolutely spot on. I cannot express strongly enough. If harassed about joining a union, we might get into a physical altercation.

I'd make it my personally mission to campaign against the union at HQ with everything I have.

I specifically became management to escape the union. I left retail so I didn't have to interact with or manage union employees. These sc-m su-king leaches can fall into a ditch. Honestly.

“ The quality of life so many speak about from back in the day - that life they allowed 1 salary to afford a home, car, family vacations, a nice retirement, and to send their kids to college, all happened when around 40% of US workers were in unions.”

And now the cost of your home, car, , college…… have all continued to increase due to the cost of Union labor.

Thanks Union!

Let’s be honest for one minute.

If the Union was so great the membership would be higher that 6-7%.

And the Union wouldn’t have to make it so hard to get out.

The Union is just like that gym membership you don’t need but keep getting charged for.

The anti union rhetoric is insane. Union jobs helped move many people into middle class. I know this as the grandchild of an autoworker. The quality of life so many speak about from back in the day - that life they allowed 1 salary to afford a home, car, family vacations, a nice retirement, and to send their kids to college, all happened when around 40% of US workers were in unions. Not it’s a 6-7%.

This “eff you. I got mine mentality” is among many reasons why labor is is worse shape today than it was in the 50s and 60s. It’s also the reason why unionization is non existent among white collar professionals.

At the end of the day, these companies run on our labor. Stankey and the rest of the execs can’t run this company with out US doing the actually work. They can’t hire enough people quickly to fill the gap if we went on strike. AT&T would come to a grinding halt just like Hollywood is right now. MLB, NFL, NHL, & NBA have all gone on strike several times in their existence. UPS was on the verge of a strike.

He-l strikes are why we enjoy some the benefits we deem standard to employment in this day and age.

I would absolutely support joining an HQ Union.

LOL ain't no way. The CWA and any other useless unions can pound sand. Go play in the street.

I work way too hard and effectively negotiate my pay to where a union is going to stand in my way.

I won't support this nonsense. I won't give up my vacations to "senior" employees, I won't give up my Healthcare plan, I won't let you "negotiate" on my behalf. I'm from Texas, I don't need you or anyone else to do anything for me.

Kindly, kiss my a-s.

Buy more office space and require 5 days a week back in office.

Keep your performance award, spend wisely. No contract means off payroll 2 weeks and no medical.

all unions do is concentrate wages in the hands of a few longer tenured and frequently less competent employees. Personally, I’d prefer to keep my performance rewards and not have it distributed among others.

Hate to bring this up but this imbecile is on the management side. Stay over there, we don’t want you in the Union. We have to deal with enough sycophant job justifiers decisions now.

We don't need you, nor do we want you. The company doesn't want you either apparently.

I actually joined the film writers union today i expect great results. Where do i go to s ck off a union boss?

F ck AT&T, shame SBC let it come to this

This OP wins the funniest post of the summer award !

Just when I think the posts on this forum could not get any more stupid, here we are.

You could get paid more, have better benefits, job security, and none of this RTO to hub stuff if you did join the union.

Who’s gonna cover for the union strike then?

You funny!!!

GTFOH!
