Strike Battle Against Charter\u00ae<\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

New York Mayor Bill de Blasio has finally decided to side with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) in their three-month battle with one of the leading internet providers in the country, Charter Communications\u00ae<\/sup>. He recently made an appearance on the weekly talk show \u201cInside City Hall\u201d that runs on a local channel owned by Charter\u00ae<\/sup><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a situation that has to be resolved for the good of New York City,\u201d Blasio said. \u201cWe\u2019re talking about working people who are trying to make ends meet, trying to get a fair contract.\u201d Reports claim that approximately 1,700 workers who are with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 3 organized a strike against the telecom company on March 28.<\/p>\n

The strike happened because of the disagreement about the contribution of the telecom company<\/a> to the benefits and pensions of the workers. Reports claim that the workers union arranged several meetings with the officials of Charter Communications\u00ae<\/sup>, but both the parties failed to reach a settlement on the issue.<\/p>\n

Mayor Blasio recently announced his support to the workers and he took aim at the CEO of Charter\u00ae<\/sup>, Tom Rutledge, who received the biggest compensation amount for a top executive for a publicly traded company in the United States last year. It is to be noted that the cable company shed a sum of $98 million to successfully purchase Bright House Networks\u00ae<\/sup> and Time Warner Cable\u00ae<\/sup> last year.<\/p>\n

De Blasio said, \u201cSo I have to imagine the resources are there to give working people a decent contract, and I hope this is something that can be resolved for everyone\u2019s benefit.\u201d According to reports, the existing franchise agreement offers a non-exclusive right to Charter\u00ae<\/sup> for operating cable franchises in Staten Island, Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan through 2020.<\/p>\n

\"Cheap<\/a>

Leading Internet Providers <\/strong><\/em><\/p><\/div>\n

However, the above-mentioned provision does come with certain conditions and one of them is that the telecom company must allow their employees the right to collective bargaining, a subject that is right at the heart of the current Charter Spectrum\u00ae<\/sup> employee strike.<\/p>\n

The franchise agreement of the city states that Charter spectrum\u00ae<\/sup> \u201cshall recognize the right of its employees to bargain collectively through representatives of their own choosing.\u201d However, the strike has not yet affected the subscribership of Charter\u00ae<\/sup> and they are still one of the favorite internet provider choices<\/a> of U.S. customers, thanks to their cheap internet deals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
