Re: WANTED: Night splicer in the Northeast



How can a NON-union company that has never had bennies since I worked for them and got screwed out of 8000+ dollars claim bennies and wages?? This is what I mean......
I worked for this boy about a year ago and was not a very experienced coax foreman. He gave me a crew consisting of my hook a very ambitious young guy and his buddy my driver. If you yelled at his buddy for being a knucklehead you risked losing a day pay. I cant ever remember coming into work and having my truck already started for me, whats up with that?? So anyways I never pulled in an amp run before so when he showed me the run and said it was going here to here blah blah blah I was really confused and he was not the person to ask a lot of questions to I pulled to where the straight splice of .500 cable was going and ran short. My mistake, inexperience. I called him with a print in my hand and he had a print and told him where I was what happened etc etc. He told me while he was looking at a print to just bring it back. No problem 2 spans no biggie. Well his knucklehead of a buddy let it get under a mailbox and kink while pulling it back. I took the heat for this one cause if I didnt it wouldve been a days pay, which it turned out to be anyways. And got docked a dollar an hour. So then we repulled it and got into an arguement on a pole so I quit he fired me whatedver it was I dont care. So tax time comes around my friend that worked for him NEVER recieved anything my family that worked for him never recieved anything. I had to call for 3 months before I got anything. On march 17 I recieved a 10-99 while he was paying me in personal checks wiith post it notes attached saying what he took out in taxes and I filled out a w-4 in the begining. He said the 10-99 was for the reel of .750 cable I wrecked he said instead of giving me my w-2 with the only 4000 that I made he gave me a 10-99 so he didnt have to back charge me because his sh**ty contract with AT&T makes him buy all his stock which he never has. Doesnt a company with a contract HAVE to have insurance?? Not to mention He had no tools doing 1500 foot 875 runs bending ALL the loops by hand..... Long story short hes a scumbag who is desprate for work and he is so low he was taking pics on a jobsite in Cambridge of my current company working trying to say we were being unsafe!!! A multi billion dollar UNION company being unsafe.......Right!! You be the judge. I am hoping the IRS getss off their asses theyve had all three of these cases now for like 8 months.
