The New Happier Face of ACS
I want to share some critical information in regards to Sprint. In April, Sprint decided to renegotiate its
current contract with all its partners including ACS. Sprints overall objective is to reduce its costs, so as a
leader in meeting our client needs will provide a discount. For the past 2 months, we have been
working with Sprint on a new contract, which will go into effect July 1, 2011. (We are all about to be excited that we at least are protected by min wage.)
We are excited about the opportunities this brings – such as an extension to the length of the existing
contract. ASC gets paid but employees are going to be run over. Of course, (and here it comes) as in any business dealing, you have to give...

Just sayin'
Some of the stuff was real good to get clarified. Playing with it another. When rules are defined we can complain but we know where we stand. That is better than murking around in the dark

If your customers have to barely get by then they can not and will not buy the products. so the market shrinks. Then more labor costs are cut and so it goes.

The only difference is that for the Portland facility you guys used to make $2 more in supp pay than us and now you're only making $1 more per hr in supp pay.
Their expectations are way to high, their care for their employees is way to low (this is not just Sprint, it's ACS too). And, trying to speak up abou...

Given how many of you guys seem to exist, you could start a letter writing campaign in which you draft a well written and spoken letter that you would each, in turn, send to Sprint individually. If they get several thousand of the same letter, on a weekly basis, they will eventually take notice and change will be more likely than simply complaining to ACS management.
But from the sounds of it, ACS has lots of issues beyond ABC, such as base pay, etc.
