If they win, you do realize that this will set presidence (sp?) in all of Florida for all the BHN techs.

Sadly, all this will end up doing in the long run is raising cable prices in Florida.

I'm not saying vote no. Just be prepared for the whirl wind of its affects.

I was thinking about trying to get a job with BHN here in north fl,but if the union passes and spreads up here I will stay where I am at for now.Thank you for the info on this I want nothing to do with a union.people think the economy is bad know,just wait until they do away with the secret ballot for unions,lay offs will be everywhere.

sorry, but the op sounds very disgruntled. perhaps, a change of job would help both parties alot!

Thanks!

Im sorry if your cable bill went up $10.00 this year. I can assure you not even a penny of the increase went into my wallet.

I could continue to F-off in my van and do the bare minimum all day while having an extra layer of protection for my job. I could laugh and snicker amongst myself at the other idiots, working so hard and earning the same pay. I'd have no incentive to work harder, as there would be no reward anyway. "

What do you think we do in those trucks all day? Damn straight we screw off. WIFI tablets and unlimited cell phones.... I personally like to log into myspace and post on blogs the majority of my lunch break (NO! We dont get one of those either!!!) But if you did, wouldnt you screw off all day like we do? I know I did absolutely nothing last week and guess what... I probably will do not a damn thing this week!!! Because you are right. You have exposed not only my lack of motivation, but also the lack of motivation of the remaining field techs who are a part of an elitist club known as the "I am a screw off in my truck, sleep on the side behind circle k all day kinda cableperson!!!!"

Thanks for letting everyone know we are still out there!

To be quite honest I was told if the union was voted in we would certainly lose a majority or a portion of the existing benefits. I was totally disturbed by this because if I lost my free cable I don't know what I'd do... .Oh yeah... I would have tell customers (assuming the Union had been voted in), that I have Fios, and I dont have near as many issues as they do. I would only tell them this because I would be making enough money to be obligated to try FIOS. Instead I am limited to and exclusively for the Brighthouse product because it is one of our "free" benefits and I obviously enjoy working on it sooo much everyday that when I come home I want to go back to work on my own house... but then again I guess I just "don't know any better".

I miss the days of doing an honest days work for an honest days pay. Now I work to get paid and hope to make it to the next check just scraping by.

All I gotta say is if you think working for BHN is so bad, you should try being a contractor for them. Go and listen to their complaints as I have and you will know that your job is what those contractors are after.

They dont get benefits. They don't get free cable. They dont get reduced internet and phone.

If they mess up a job for what ever reason, bad day, forgot to crimp a fitting, forgot to torque down the fittings, they get back charged the entire job PLUS 75$.

Oh and btw, my cable bill didn't go up 10$ this year I have satellite. There are always other options.

For some of you reading this, I just spoke with the rep here in Brevard County for AT&T. I like to be informed on whats going on in my area. Their techs are starting out at $13.50 an hour. Maybe you should look into their service. As a bonus, their already union!
