Workers at Spectrum, the telecommunications giant that provides cable and internet service to 29 million customers, say the company is failing to take basic steps to keep them safe during the COVID-19 outbreak.
The paid leave is a nice gesture, but those working conditions are horrible. I just wonder how indicative it is of other workplaces, esp. within that industry.
As far as NY goes, it stands against reason that Spectrum has not even (or have they?) attempted to contact Gov Cuomo to inquire about purchasing some of NY's OWN hand sanitizer, now made in NY, specifically for use in public buildings, schools, hospitals, gov't buildings, etc. While it is not available for commercial sale ("yet", per Gov Cuomo) NY went into the hand sanitizer during this Coronavirus pandemic when employees, esp teachers, began complaining that they could no longer find it for purchase! I hardly think Gov Cuomo would want NY workers going without it either. Judd, since you have contacts at Spectrum, maybe pass the tip along to them... ?
Try this again. I hate the corporate greed exhibited here by this 1%. Grocery workers are exposed daily, these cable employee s are as well.
No one is worth 8.9. In the cable industry. Or should be paid 95million just because of a buy out.
57 million of us are being left out of the trillion dollar stimulus because we are self employed. Obamacare skipped us too because our pay days aren't steady.
We live in a country where the leadership is for the rich only. It sucks.

Cuomo's "yet" comment was made at a daily briefing a couple of weeks ago.

How can I get a job where I am paid a 98 million dollar bonus? And keep my soul? Oh, I thought so.
