Why do folks in the union think that they are superior skilled workers...any monkey can climb poles and tone out wires (did it for 10 years)?? There are so many companies that do exceptional work and are not organized.
What type of better training does the union provide that a non union worker would not receive? Comcast provides high level training for all of their workers without a union contract.
When the workers voted in the union at the Comcast Needham facility where was the union when it came time to negotiate the better salary and benefits that were promised?? The "strong" IBEW wanted nothing to do with the members letting those workers rot away while Comcast took care of the non Union employees time and time again with pay increases based upon the workers performance and industry increases....the union was voted out after the "contract" expired. With the mess the Union created and left behind in Needham there will NEVER be a Union voted in at Comcast in Mass....so much for the Union taking care of the workers.
