Some truths to consider...based on real life events. The union does not work for you, they represent you. Even though you pay them. Yes there is a difference like it or not. The job term Representative they use is very accurate. The union also... — read more 

It's sad when the wrong people develop an infatuation for you. Why couldn't it be Beyonce, Jennifer Lopez or maybe, Rihanna. Instead, technicians have to hear it from a guy (I think) who calls himself FAUST. He has had a few things to say on this... — read more 

Ive had multiple people come up to me on the street. This will hurt them financially if they keep screwing their employees.

Let's keep giving altice management more diarrhea! Whos next to unionize!

Does any one know if any packages will be offered soon?

Altice management now will have to watch their P's and Q's. Any action taken by them will not only piss off the union reps, the NLRB, any lawyers involved, the media and social media but also, and more importantly, the other NYC area depots awaiting... — read more

Altice will NEVER explain it to you. If YOU need proof that "union dues" was never a "big deal", then check out what a technician going by the moniker "Kanobee" said. He made an outstanding point.... a point that probably went by everyone here. And I... — read more

If "collecting" or "negotiating" dues is the union's top priorities, then YOU would assume that the FASTER they can get a contract signed, the more they collect. The sooner the better. Right? Then again, unless YOU agree and vote "yes", there is NO... — read more 

You have way to much time on your hands pal. For a former employee you care an awful lot! What local are you working for ?

Here's one of the lines used by management as a "scare" tactic. "The only guarantee is your dues. You do realize that the first thing the union negotiates is dues, right?" The reason why the union "negotiates" dues is for accounting or administrative... — read more 

What the hell does that mean? Because the union now listens and speaks for you, until there is a "contract" signed, THERE ARE NO DUES. PERIOD. Management will NOT tell you that. Until you vote "yes" to a contract agreement, YOU WILL NOT BE PAYING... — read more 

Strength in numbers, boys. Don't go down without a fight. The Altice people are bigger fibbers than the Dolans were.

Okay. Let's figure this out. It's apparent that the main negative arguments concerning unions are two-fold: 1) union dues. 2) Guarantees 1) Union dues. Hey, what club DOES NOT have a membership fee? Even churches ask for tithing? They're just not... — read more 

Then, when it's time for the vote.... vote "YES" for the union. Hmmmm... now why would you want to do that? Altice can NOT suddenly lower your pay because of your "yes" vote. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) will see it as "payback" and eat... — read more

If you want union u need to get rolling asap.

Do we have enough support in Suffolk to start all of this or are some shops that are talking about it have too many people who are scared? The more shops we have the more bullets going in Altices way we will have.

Still having faith in a bottomless pit this is what This company has become . if Drahi cared so much he would have made an effort to meet his employees and address concerns. But he chose not too . This war and in war you have no friends.

Looking for a real answer here. Why aren't waiting to go to ATS and then organizing there? We'd get the bonus and the union. I'm sure I'm missing something. Thanks
