Oh my, I wasnt' going to jump in on this but........ 1. Att is the ONLY unionized long distance carrier in the USA. WALD is not unionized. Those who don't think this matters should try working for both -- there is a difference. 2. A friend of mine invested her small nest egg in Working Assets and lost half of it. 3. ATT and other Bell Operating companies claim to be 'green' or to recycle. Those of you who believe this should check this out a little more carefully. At NYNEX, they have these big blue recycling bins all over the place, and when unionized cleaners cleaned, the recycling happened. Now, the company has eliminated all the unionized cleaners and they use outside contract cleaners. The outside contractors combine the trash from the recycle bins and the trash from the regular bins and throw them all out together. So much for recycling. To my knowledge, all of the Long Distance carriers, including ATT, and all the BOCs also now use contract labor to clean and, to the best of my knowledge, none of them recycle. maggie coleman [EMAIL PROTECTED]
