Eventually a huge realization will lighten up the Tacoma RCA skyline as well as, hopefully, the rest of this vast QWEST wasteland when all of my CWA Brothers and Sisters suddenly understand that QWEST is fighting a war of attrition and that we, the workers are their canon fodder. Do any out there doubt it? If so just look around. Every week some employee is being brought up before the man for some disciplinary actions and believe me it isn’t the wrist slapping kind. Suspensions without pay while they investigate – immediate terminations because investigations have been on going for months prior – letters in files both warning and final.
