Not Sure If I'm Posting At The Correct Topic... Perhaps Someone Can
inform me or direct me to where I should be. My daughter lost her job and called me last night about a company known as 5linx, an VolP Telecommunications company. From my Google search this looks like a "pyramid" company, but not sure. My concern is about creditably.

Thanks!

2. So Is This Bad Or Good... They Have A Very Large Website & Have
been operating since 1993. I shy away from this stuff myself, but it could be like the once famous Amway business. If you know.

3. Thank you for the post

This forum is for working people period. We are not just union oriented. I don't have an answer for you. But will do some looking around.

4. Appreciate It... Fellow JRE Guy!! I Remember You & Your Pictures
of him! I'm still not over it, but many have moved on! But this issue is just another reminder of how many people who are suffering. My daughter is a critical care nurse, but this county in Florida has NEVER allowed much Union activity, actually almost nil unless you're part of communications and maybe utilities. Unions are four letter words (a play on words) here and every effort to keep them out is pushed with fervor! Repuke country for sure!

Just wanted to steer her out of more trouble if possible. My husband and I were "lucky" to have been part of the CWA Union, without it we would never have been able to survive. Thankfully we have health insurance and benefits others don't!

Thanks again.

5. Marta was CWA too


Local 7400 for 18 years. We stayed out 3 weeks in 83. My sister spent her entire career as a member.

6. My Husband Spent Almost All Of His Career With CWA Too!
We MUST return to UNIONS as part of the basic frame work here in America. The stats on Unions in America are simply HORRIBLE!
