NOT JUST ANOTHER DAY AT THE BEACH -
BSC, CA – Before we get back to 'the
rest of the story' as the tagline goes and the guy in the hammock,
the AT&T workers went back to work on Monday, organizer [name
withheld by reporter] said. But the real issue is more complicated
than the boots on the ground know. The money angle of Mama Bell
making $1,000,000,000 profit a quarter [2016], the CEO taking home
$27M, and the parent company outsourcing outlets to stand-alone
owners [to compete with Boost Mobile, CREDO, and Metro PCS] may be
the reasons their 'shop steward' told them because that's what he was
told, but like the hosing all the Bernie Sanders SEIU fans got with the BLM
infiltration/hijacking, it ain't what it seems.
The real reason for Ma Bell's bullish
attitude toward the young workers who build and maintain the mobile
side of AT&T is because as you read this, a bill is speeding
through the sellouts of Sacramento to affix a mini cell tower on
every light pole, every neighborhood to eliminate 99% of the mobile
workforce employed now. Imagine living inside a bug zapper, but they
will say 'there's no problem.' [Were the days not
shortened, no flesh would survive.] This is the other reason you
haven't and won't be hearing this news in the Establishment media.
So far there is no word about the
lawmakers in the other 35 states facing AT&T sharecropping. So
what can you or I do about this bullshit? You can write letters, do
'honk 'n' waves with signs, or meet in churches, but the real power
starts at the grassroots level: the local city council. First
research the bill number, attend the next council meeting and use the
public speaker 2-3 minutes to sound the alarm. There's always going
to be a street corner to stand on.
Now back to the dude in the hammock,
why everyone became so fond of him and how he fit in, also more pics
of the strikers, all after the jump.
