Can you feel it? That feeling like something big is happening? Can you see the angst in management's eyes as they realize that you, as workers, are joining together?
You have commenced an effort to join together not as a work group, or garage, or region; in fact, Comcast workers all over the United States of America embarked on a journey this morning that will begin to hold this corporation accountable for its treatment of workers.
Due to the incredible response to this blog, as well a flood of phone calls into our union offices, the IBEW has recognized that now is the time to escalate this effort and to help you in your goal of gaining a voice at work. You have spoken loudly, and have made it clear, that enough is enough Comcast. It is now the worker's turn to capitalize on the success that has been made possible by the workers.
TODAY kicked off one of the largest organizing drives in recent history in our industry. Union members that are your friends, and neighbors in the community showed up at Comcast locations throughout the Country this morning. We met many of you, and handed out flyers with a simple message, and a website for you to visit. http://www.comcastworkersunited.com/
The goal of the IBEW is to raise the standard for all workers throughout our industry. Comcast has made it clear, that they intend to lower the bar and deny you a "voice at work". In a society in which our Governmental and business leadership have largely devalued labor's contributions to capital; You stand on the vanguard of a movement that will recapture that respect, by demanding a seat at the table, and by bargaining a fair contract for all Comcast workers. You do not stand alone; every member of the IBEW regardless of their place of employement, stands with you in your fight for better wages, benefits, and working conditions at Comcast. Welcome aboard !
