What you may not know is Spectrum/Charter has also been dishonest with their IBEW Local 3 unionized employees in NYC. For over two years Spectrum/Charter has refused to negotiate with the union members for a fair contract leading to a strike of more than 2,500 workers. One of the key points of contention has been the targeted punishment of employees who advocate for their customers who deserve the services they were promised. In addition, the company has proposed drastic health care cuts for unionized workers and wants to eliminate their pensions and job security. Despite pleas from the city council and Mayor of NYC to bargain fairly; Charter/Spectrum would only discuss their wanted removal from the employee’s pension and medical fund. Charter/Spectrums tactics are a clear example of union busting.
