The company already has stopped providing retiree health care and support for child and elder care. Our pensions have been frozen, and the excuse given was, the reduction of worker benefits is necessary for the company to remain viable. The changes being made will ensure that FairPoint will be able to offer competitive prices … in the future. FP has also said, It should not have come as a surprise to the workers because it was stated in the proposed contract. The proposed contract that I have yet to view in its entirety... Halloween is over FairPoint. Its time to take off your mask, and reveal yourself for the Company you really are. Stop hiding behind your high priced Lawyers, and below the belt tactics. You tried to impose terms upon your union workforce, that were not only outrageous, but extremely unreasonable. I feel that your attempts to ruin the reputations of all your striking union workforce is sad, but very predictable. The integrity of the union workforce has been proven by our skill, and efficiency during times of crisis. I am not so sure that you would be able to say the same for your unskilled management team or your unskilled SCAB workforce. Let me remind you that WERE UNION, ITS PROVEN.
