Needless to say, the building was sold without sufficient research and now there exists no easement, right away, or agreement for AT&T to have access to their fiber facilities. Now when Outside Plant Techs attempt to routine the fiber, the current owners chase them off the property. During the last incident, Outside Plant Techs were doing a fiber locate in anticipation of moving the cable, the current owner called AT&T announcing he would be pressing charges for trespassing. Is jail going to be a new skill for OSP Techs?

It looks like the current owner will be looking for some extra cash from the company to straighten out these poor management decisions. All the extra money this is going to cost the company while our members are laid off for what the company calls economic reasons, could have been avoided if they would have utilized the knowledge and experience of our Union Outside Plant Technicians.
