Union PIGS is just a tad harsh don’t you think. What exactly did they do to you? My husband has been a Comm Tech with SBC for 3 years. We don’t have any problem sharing the cost of our healthcare. Let’s not forget how this negotiating stuff works. They say you pay $200 a month for insurance, the union says we’ll pay nothing and hopefully they will settle somewhere in the middle. The other issues that are on the table are things like job security and forced overtime. Not unlike many other Americans, the fear of layoff has been ever present for my husband for the entire time he has been employed by SBC. He just barely missed the cut-off in the last round of lay-offs. Not knowing if your going to have a job day to day is difficult, especially when you know there is plenty of work to be done and the company you work for is in great financial condition and handing out Millions of dollars in bonuses to their Executives. My husband works very hard and, the strike would be difficult for everyone involved and if SBC didn’t need their union employees than we would’nt even be discussing this!
