Welcome Back.
We hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and enjoyed the Holiday weekend.
We will start this blog back up for now, and encourage you to once again post freely and openly. I will, as previously stated, draw the line when it comes to the posting of personal information. I will review the blog from time to time and remove any posts that put anyone at risk.
We do know who the Comcast Managers are that frequent this blog, and have recorded all previous posts. They will be dealt with appropriately, as that type of fear mongering will not be allowed. The purpose of this blog is to:
1.) Break down the climate of fear in your workplace. (Comcast and their anti-worker lawyers specialize in scaring the hell out of their workers. No need to be afraid, as you have Federal Law on your side in addition to the support of the thousands of unionized workers in your industry here in New England)
2.) Dispel rumors, and provide you with facts. (Comast and their anti-worker lawyers are good at throwing out lies. Distorting the truth and employing a fear and smear campaign. We hope that this blog will serve as a medium for you to post the bizarre things that Comcast tells you in those "Captive Audience" meetings. We will provide you with the truth.)
3.) Provide you with the resources needed to make an informed decision. (We believe it is important for you to know how to ascertain the information YOU need to make an informed decision. Comcast and their anti-worker lawyers will tell you what THEY want you to know. As a union, we believe YOU know YOU best and should decide for yourself what information you need.)
4.) Give you a sounding board. (We think it is important that you have a place outside of work, to go and speak your mind. Whether it is a manager or a human resources clown that lies to your face, you have the right to sound off ! Post online with your co-workers and join with other Comcast workers from different locations to share your stories. Just remember not to post personal information. Comcast managers and their anti-worker lawyers will be online as well, so be honest and tell them how you feel.)
5.) Provide you with information regarding upcoming meetings, online debates, card signing's etc. (Many locations in New England have contacted the IBEW about taking the next step. We will continue our meetings to help you in organizing your workplace and will post information on this site. Keep in mind that Comcast and their anti-worker lawyers will be reading as well, so we can't post Everything.)
