Cablevision employees are targeted for layoffs

I hate what Altice is doing to hard working decent people that have spent 20, 30 plus years there when it was Cablevision. I started out with a wonderful group of people in 1986 when it was still TKR and worked there until 1997. When Cablevision... — read more

Can a technician that was involved in a union vote and lost under "USA" and is now "ATS" try to organize another election and not have to wait a full year since they are now technically another company?

Hiring

The company is hiring people that are not qualified for the jobs on purpose to lay them off. I know one of my friends who has no experience in the field, he was hired at a senior level position without any real checks.

The layoffs

Is this sham of a company giving retirement packages to people with a lot of time with the company? How about the people who've only been there for a few years? Is there a severance package? Unemployment doesn't pay people enough to live.

Bye Bye RCC

It was announced today that RCC/Dispatch Dept. is being laid off. Last day June 29th.

The name game.

So it would seem in an effort to mask turning cablevision in-house techs into contractors the new name is "associate".

How is ATS treating you techs

Just curious of how the scam artist is treating there employees through the footprint. Spoke to 2 different shops and they are not pleased at ALL.

Fudge

Fudging fiber footage to get Altice USA to pay ATS bills. Crews are hanging fiber and not lashing per company orders. If a contractor were to do this they would A) not be paid B) never hired again.
