Fire them all and hire COMPETENT workers that need work! With Obama as president we have no shortage of unemployed willing to jump all over these jobs!

This would be a good idea if the entire current workforce were incompetent.

And if experience had zero value.

And if training time for new employees was zero.

And if there were no reputation or morale penalty associated with being a dick just because current economic conditions dictate that they can get away with it for the moment.

Hmm. I'm starting to think this isn't entirely practical. Oh well. It probably made you feel like more of a man, and that's more important than making far-sighted rational business decisions.

Anybody who is dumb enough to go on strike during a recession as bad as the one we are in right now deserves to get kicked out into the street faster than Rosanne at an "All You Can Eat Buffet"!

Seriously Give these jobs to the house builders that were making $40-$50K that can't find work right now... they already know how to install wiring, how to find studs etc.

To exercise such deplorable spelling, punctuation, & grammar while calling someone else a moron pre-empts any credibility you might have had.

Despite my general agreement with your sentiment (ie - that murmermer's assertions about the job market & the economy are borne of ignorance & bias), you make it easier to bring 3rd grade level mockery into the conversation by your lack of articulation.

Please say nothing further.

I support the union man. They...(most)...work hard for whay they have. Like my buddy who works doin installs and repairs for U-Verse works 6 to 7 days a week and usually over 10 hour days. They deserve it. Its not like hiring someone for Mcdonalds or Wal-Mart. There is alot more training to go along with it.

USA!USA!USA!USA!!!!!!!!!!!!

I agree with you that the United States is not only the last free place on earth but THE BEST place on earth.

We should replace these union reps with laid off craftsmen, carpenters and brick layers. Not only will that ensure the customers the best installation experiences but also keep hardworking Americans off the street.

No. . . we should be developing a more thoroughly domestic economy. Why would we want to waste the talents of skilled, trained workers doing a job other than the one they're best equipped for?

What we need to do is bring jobs back from china. Employ OUR friends and family to do the job not other countries. We need to look out for number 1..US...and quit allowing illegal immigrants to work in our country. Get rid of that and bring jobs back to the U.S.A and we wouldnt even be having this conversation. Im just sick and tired of seeing my frieds and family without jobs while i see all these NON U.S. RESIDENTS working and sending their money out of the country. It shouldnt be that way

so they should remain jobless until the economy is fixed in 4 years (after a Conservative takes office) and our society can start expanding again?

That doesn't make any sense! I will admit you have a great vocabulary but your ignorant in fiscal responsibility and ethics.

Fiscal responsibility from conservatives? ๐Ÿคฃ

Deficits ran strong during the Bush years and he was suppose to be a strong compassionate conservative. The only reasons the pubs are screaming bloody murder now is because they are not in power because it was not a problem when they ran deficits. While I am not crazy at the way the Obama administration is throwing money around I will wait and see if what he does works. If not, if the next man seem to have a better plan, then that is who I vote for! Spare everybody on this site a rant about ethics because the pubs are just as dirty as the dems.

I have a feeling that you are out of work and think that this is all about you.
Well guess what you are 300% wrong. None of the workers want to go on strike! Take it from me, I was there. I support the workers and if they strike I am happy to stand with them. it is not the workers fault that the company wants to them to work for peanuts. the wireless side is only going to get a 1% raise this year when inflation is at 5% right now and you cap out on your pay with in the first 2 years of working there if you are experienced.
Also you have no idea what it is like to work in customer service cuz with your attitude you would be gone after your first difficult customer.
Yes some of the workers have issues and should not work there but fo...
