Well said loose neutral, Its just like that in NJ also. But I have never heard it put so well. Thats why I am so nervous about all the experience going out the door. The apprentice program we have...
and what did you give back in the contract...
I have been wondering if the time of growth for linemen is in the non utiltiy locals, or the contractors. Most utilities dont seem to be hiring to even keep up with the loss. So on the flip side,...
In Jersey Central, we sent linemen to Atlantic electric and Orange and Rockland and the hosts utilities loved the linemen. Loved the work ethic and safety attitude and the productions in bad...
Do you have a link to your website?
Can the state or the dept of labor step in?
Patriot, was this during a contract negotiation? If so, it sounds like a union busting move. All the talk of layoffs, furloughs, and give backs, and, then you read about a labor shortage reaching...
Electriclady, man am I glad I was hired by gpu. There really was a feeling of family. With this swine flu, fe just has their finger in the dike, now that they have blown any trust from and with the...
If they tell me to come to work, I will be like a glove on the manager and foremen. The new typhiod mary.
Boy, if El presidente Lynch, is really that confused about the state of the employees, he should be shipped to ohio or afganistan. What is amounting to a company rewrite of the facts on a fatality...
That you Buzzy?
I would think any company that would buy a portion of FE, would know that the employees would welcome them with open arms, just in the hope that they would get treated as humans not as disobediant...
Well lincrw, what I mean is that any outfit that has crossed a picket line, such as waters and bugsby, mastec, and chain, as well at the local laborers union here in new jersey, has zero credit with...
I know that mastec and chain came north for the penelec strike, and if I ever see them, I will wait for a time to screw with them. Big time. I hear that the scabs that were here were leaving from...
How did the first day back go?
Where! Where is it! are they hiring? Come on spill it Lizzy!!!
They can be proud of the results of the strike also. While everyone has losses during the strike, They gained much by keeping their contract and preserving the wage rate.
Congrats and good luck
Sounds like you did fairly well on the contract. Just to not have the 24/7 is huge. If you have time for detials I would love to hear it.
left behind why? We had one brother that becuase of a fight at a picket line was not brought back but won in arbitration. Years later. He now works for another utility.
After having the state step in and force movement from fe, we were able to get a contract coming of the strike years back. But be ready when you go to hear the settlement, It may not be what you...
Thanks for posting daddy, dont know who you are but the sarcasm is thick. There may be some hostility for 777 but I would guess that I would hope my local would do the best for me that it could. ...
I think the settlement is like a agreement for the workers to return to a contract. Mills also has to figure out how to sell this to membership. It not over yet. If the membership doesnt go for...

FirstEnergy Labor Negotiations for Tuesday, June 23rd and Wednesday, June 24th.
Today was day 28 of Negotiations.
Currently we are working on the settlement offer of...
anyone who thinks that penelec is the only one who will get a crap contract is wrong. every union with a contract with this shitty company will get the same crap contract eventually. Most of what...
