IBEW STRIKE CONTINUES

1,800 members of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers have been on strike against Charter Spectrum since March. The strike is still going on.

Here is the latest from the NYC Cable Truth blog.



LOCAL UNION #3 IBEW SUBMITTED A NEW PROPOSAL TO THE MEDIATOR TO PRESENT TO CHARTER/SPECTRUM IN A CONTINUED ATTEMPT TO RESOLVE THE STRIKE. WE WILL CONTINUE TO PROVIDE UPDATES ACCORDINGLY.

99.5% of Local 3 members also voted to extend benefits checks to the striking workers. The strike has gone on so long that their unemployment benefits are running out.

Labor solidarity is not dead.

  1. There’s nothing, absolutely nothing, the UFT would strike for except banishment from Peter Luger’s.

  5. The only strikes the UFT knows about are at Yankee games paid for with rank and file dues money. (But not for long come Janus!)
