I climbed a ton of poles over the last 34 years.I'm not gonna lose much sleep over a ladder threat !!!!!!!The folks bargaining this contract better wake up and look at the condition of the wireline business.A walkout now,even if it gained benefits for a few would be devastating for the ones cut loose to pay those higher cost.Take a good look at the UAW if you want to see what unreasonable demands do to a workforce.
