I worked for a prime that went from November to June bouncing payroll checks and tried to blame it on their bank. Granted the cable company was behind about 8 months or more but if you don't have the cash flow you shouldn't be in business.
> It is ok for some of us to say strike.But what happens to those who decide to take care of their fafalies reguardless of the situation.The organising of a strike, or work stoppage is something that has to be properly organised and studied.In the absence of a proper plan it will all be for nothing.The thaught of a strike may be good for the reconfiguration of the present price structure,but under the present echnomic condition the country is in ,i am of the opinion that it will be extremely difficult to organize a strike in this business at the present time.I am willing to support this action if well thaught out and organised.

Why are there so many ads on the cabl bar? These subs have obviously promised more than they can handle! Good Luck to you and hang in there.
