Please, Please Strike, I want some extra time off after working here 26 years, mental health break, would be nice. Saved up for some months off and with unemployment, relief pay could go out for a long, long time.
Some of these know it all, company trolls are about as sharp as a rat tu-d, pointed on both ends.

“ Ignorant non-represented management slugs boasting about their intelligence, while T continues to loot what benefits they have left.”
Clearly you’re not represented by Mensa. Management employees will wait while you look that up union slug.
If you didn’t know this was a T forum you would swear it was a remake with the title, “ T’s union - d-mb and d-mber”
“ Ignorant non-represented management slugs ”
Super original , union goofs. And you wonder why T doesn’t want you anymore. Next time just use ChatGPT for a unique response.
Can’t wait, ULP Is almost here. Get those few days over and if company won’t bargain fairly then we get a much longer vacation. Alaska will be nice when it’s over 90 and smoggy here.

“ Thursday is nearly here”
And then next Thursday and the Thursday after that and so on….you won’t do a single thing. Union slugs are good at reading a printed calendar.
Thursday is nearly here, a couple more days to input your strike vote. Let’s get the party started!
Are you union flunkies still working with no new contract ? Ah yes, clueless and gutless too.
Unions are a for profit organization that will take your money and not do anything. Wake up people, unions are dead!
Anyone who tells you how hard working they are, never are. Now get back to work without a new contract and like it.
John's simp brigade is still here!
“ hard working employees trying to support themselves and their families”
Anyone who tells you how hard working they are, never are. Now get back to work without a new contract and like it.
Are you talking about Poindexter the wunderkid, him is soooo smart!
Might even get the the guy who loves saying “union slug” so much, to crawl up from mommies basement and do some CP work. Don’t worry it won’t last long and you will get your 2 weeks and a goodbye letter to hit the road to find other employment.
“ Strike vote is over Thursday, time to get my walking shoes ready”
Keep walking and don’t turn around…ever please. 👍
Strike vote is over Thursday, time to get my walking shoes ready. My manager needs a little CP action to work some of that blubber off from sitting behind a desk so much, It will be good for his health.
“ Yep, you are right we will work tomorrow”
Because you have no backbone….
All talk no action union slugs.
I can hear all the concessions rolling in, then the bellyaching from goofs like you who are unemployable elsewhere. Go get your shine box Tommy.
This is the period of high anxiety. Give it a few more weeks or maybe a month or two and the union will report on the hard work in the negotiations that resulted in a $500 signing bonus and 4% raise year 1 then a 3.5% raise year 2 and 3. Best we could do fellow union member sheep. Vote yes so we can breath again .
They never strike. They just posture then back down and the company wins

Unite!
Never strike? so the 2019 - SE district 3 , ULP strike was a figment of our imaginations, it would have been a full-strike if the company hadn’t flew in a new labor team and settled quickly.
Don’t let facts stand in the way of your narrative, you will make an excellent news reporter or anchor. Fit right in with today’s Svengali types who spin everything to influence others.

Same union flunky that will be at work tomorrow in spite of his big talk …..typical union slug.
This guy s i m p s so hard for Stankey.
Yep, you are right we will work tomorrow, until we don’t and you won’t know what day that will be so, keep your boots polished. We know you are a pro at that, Mr. Lick Lick.

Scabs that talk about money always have none.
All regional contracts for the last two years, of any consequence have seen a 14% raise over a 4 yr contract along with a COLA clause added, that is capped at 5% total @ yr. Medical has basically stayed the same rate of 29% cost to the employee, the issue is watching that the deductibles and out of pocket cost don’t continue to go up.
With the company still drowning in debt, I find it unlikely any of the regional contracts are going to see any significant raises and, if they can get away with it, they're going to offload more of the healthcare cost onto the employees.
The problem with the Union is that it simply doesn't care how much Medical goes up for its members because it's not money coming out of their pocket. The Union will always fight for a raise because it's self serving. Since dues are a percentage of base pay, any raise for the membership equates to a raise for the Union. Hence, the reason they fight tooth and nail for it ( and headcount ).
Everything else comes out of our pocket so it's not really on their priority list. ( If they care at all )
History tends to repeat for those uninformed. It’s a shame that Labor History and how collective bargaining came about, isn’t taught in schools. It has improved all employees working conditions and yes there has been corruption along the way, it’s needs regulation and laws just like all businesses, they need to stay out of politics that doesn’t directly affect working conditions or labor law. There are many examples of corruption in non bargained workplaces too. So for all those against Unions need to look at the working conditions and benefits prior to Unions.
As the post states, you got a bonus most were $15,000-$20,000 and up also, you received a raise based on your management’s assessment. Some on this site have posted raises up to 4%, if yours was lower then you need to take it up with your manager, it’s not the union’s fault. The post wasn’t to bash office workers but to show the company was successful enough to offer management extra so, bargained wants their fair share too.
Bargained usually doesn’t get a bonus since it’s tied to the falling stock price and raises haven’t kept up with inflation for a long time.
I see Poindexter the self appointed company troll, is at it again with all his adjectives of Union Slugs, gutless, goofs, lazy, joke, dummies, etc... Your vitriol is aimed at hard working employees trying to support themselves and their families while bargaining for improvements in their working conditions, benefits and wages. I’m sure you make Stankey and your parents proud! Most of your descriptions fits a few and it’s a human condition that affects all levels of rank and file, from the BOD to the entry level.
Here are several reasons to thank the Union, it has benefited all employees and US workers. Now the Union is fighting companies for de-risking their pension liabilities but are putting the employee at more risk. That benefits management and bargained if they win, as nearly all the wins listed below.
Paid Vacation
Holiday Pay
Raises
FMLA
Paid Sick Leave
Workers Comp
Social Security
8 hour workday
Weekends
Breaks
Overtime Pay
Minimum Wage

Child Labor Laws
Collective Bargaining
Wrongful Termination

“ All managers that were in card swiping compliance received nice bonuses along with a wage increase.”
Uh, no. I got 1.87% with an exceeds rating, the same bonus as everyone else. Oh and our healthcare is expensive, has a very high deductible and is almost worthless. I also don’t get overtime, have to work nights/weekends with no comp time. Yeah, you guys have the golden tickets, idk why you bash office workers so much. Believe me our lives su-k.
The union won’t strike because they have absolutely no idea what they are doing. Union strike vote counts are clearly manipulated, as any show of additional weakness further erodes the outcome. Any new agreement however will be wrought with negative impacts to pay increases, healthcare costs, and job preservation. The union is being tossed around like a rag doll already. The company couldn’t care less about a strike, whether it’s 3 days or 3 months.
AT&T likes strikes. They save a lot of money and get to blame the poor service on the union. The union is basically trying to negotiate with an entity that does not care. Just keep the strike under 30 days so you don’t have a lapse in healthcare.
“ Strike voting has been extended. A lot of people weren't getting their strike vote ballots.”
You union slugs can’t even coordinate a simple vote, what makes you think you can negotiate a contract. This is the most entertaining union stooges show yet 😂
“The bootlicking is still strong with this one.”
Get to the soup kitchen, union slug.
Hi him, the gutless union working without a new contract. Didn’t you goofs say you would walk ? We all knew better unions slugs, all talk no action, can’t wait to see the list of concessions.

Why does it matter to you? If the Union strikes, they go out on strike.
Are you scared about something?
If you are scared, just say you're scared. No need to obfuscate. Just say what worries you. There is no shame in that.
Strike voting has been extended. A lot of people weren't getting their strike vote ballots.
Or so the the union claims.
