Company laid off a bunch of engineers , and now is forcing techs to do the zero pen jobs that fell to them. The union is so stupid , they didn’t even argue for a differential pay for its members. Company is saving millions making techs do the engineering work now. What does the union do besides sc--w over its members at every turn lol

They are actual professional "engineers" or just fraudulently using the title? Lol oh the misrepresentation.
@OP we are doing those jobs bexause we don't have enough work and will help us with our productivity numbers but now,2 engineers were surplused..go figure
Actually, in the contract, it states that they ARE supposed to run it by them. They’re supposed to form a technology committee impacts entire centers and make a strategy for a path to keep those people employed. Unless they cleverly left that out over the last few contracts.
CWA is a joke
Do not Stank up the pig pen.
What is zero pen?
You should complain on your union forum and not here.
Fu-k the surveys up so bad the engineer has to spend twice as long fixing it
“ They let customer service call center jobs. Go out the window. Nobody ever did a darn thing to stop it or up skill the employees for better work“
It has always baffled me that so many Union folks think the corporation is somehow supposed to run everything by THEM. I’m not bashing the Union, truly. But how is it that you don’t realize that you have ZERO say in those decisions? Your input is neither required, nor desired.
Former represented employee here. Let me tell you how this works. You file grievances about it. Your union Stewart shows up. They raise a stink about it. And then they decide the outsource to work to some country overseas to people who have bad attitudes and then they decide you don’t have enough work to do and your team has to be cut too.
Seriously, it is time for dues paying members to hold their unions accountable. They let customer service call center jobs. Go out the window. Nobody ever did a darn thing to stop it or up skill the employees for better work. And now this is happening. It’s time to hold them accountable for the money that they take out of your paychecks and not using it to buy really expensive vehicles for themselves and houses for themselves.
Ohio has always had engineering work in the union contract. Top craft pay.
