After extensive contract negotiations, Comcast still refuses to negotiate in good faith with the IBEW Local 827.  The terms of the contract Comcast is pursuing will result in stagnant wages and a reduction in benefits.  While at the same time the company had an 11% increase in profits last year.  Unfortunately, they are unwilling to share any of these profits with their workers. This is yet another example of corporate greed at its worst.  The New Jersey State AFL-CIO is supporting these workers and respectfully ask you to help them in their negotiations by contacting the CEO of Comcast.

Take a moment right now to send Brian Roberts, Chairman & CEO an email urging him to bargain a fair contract.

Dear [ Decision Maker ] ,

The workers at your firm deserve a contract that will allow them to take care of their families and make an honest living. However, the contract you are offering would jeopardize the economic livelihood of your workers. I ask that you respect your employees and bargain a fair wage. Workers, like management make a company successful and should share in the profits of a company. Your current offer, which would result in a raise of just pennies per hour after the three year life of the contract, does not reflect fair treatment of your workforce. I urge you to negotiate a contract that works for both your business and its employees.

Sincerely,
