Time Warner Cable union workers continue to strike in Sunset Park
Frustrated Charter/Spectrum Employees Feel Threatened by a Contractor’s Comments
The strike goes on for the Charter/Spectrum employees who continue to march outside the Time-Warner building in Brooklyn. Since March 28, the employees, represented by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union 3, have been trying to negotiate a new contract. Charter Communications bought Time Warner Cable (TWC) for $55 billion in May 2015 and renamed it Spectrum.
The irresolvable conflict between employment continues to rear its ugly head on the Brooklyn streets of Sunset Park. Both sides have dug their heels into the ground and are refusing to make any concessions. While residents of the neighborhood may not know much about it, it has nonetheless forced politicians to take a stance.
