Tim, thank you so much for supporting our fight for a fair contract at Cablevision. Its great to know you have my back. Can you help us reach more people by forwarding this message to five of your friends? In Unity, Jerome When my co-worker at Cablevision called some of my colleagues and me the N-word -- repeatedly -- on Facebook, management did nothing. Shortly after, Cablevision gave her a slap on the wrist.* When I said in a closed-door meeting that just like slavery is a stain on America, Cablevisions unfair treatment of its mostly African-American Brooklyn workers and its union-busting is a stain on their new brand, I was fired. This is just more of the same from Cablevision. Since my co-workers and I started trying to build a union at Cablevision, we’ve been intimidated and harassed at every turn. Can you help me fight back against Cablevision? Click here to tell Cablevision to give me my job back and negotiate with my union fairly for a fair contract. Three years ago, my co-workers and I voted overwhelmingly to join CWA. Instead of focusing on good-faith bargaining toward a contract, Cablevision and CEO James Dolan have been trying to get rid of the union. They’ve used mass firings, captive audience meetings, and sham votes to try to break support for the union. I’ve been with the company for 11 years. I work hard at my job and I don’t hesitate to speak up when my co-workers and I are being treated unfairly. Cablevision has made no secret of its hatred for the union and its willingness to fire union activists. I’m just the latest target. Please help pressure Cablevision by signing my petition telling them to give me my job back and bargain with us fairly for a fair contract. Click here to sign. Sincerely, Jerome Thompson *An earlier version of this email said that management did nothing. Since that email, Cablevision told us, for the first time, that they reprimanded the person who used the N-word. This email has been revised to reflect that assertion from Cablevision. CWA 501 Third Street NW Washington, DC 20001 cwa-union.org
