ConEd doesn't take anyone's families serious! ConEd rips people off! The rates are ridiculous.

[worldtraveler]

Pay the workers what they need and deserve !

[pennyschuerch]

Oh so if a human life is loss from the heat, con Edison can be sued. Pay your workers our life’s depend on utilities.

[Petty-BettyPolite]

Don't worry they'll be replaced with our new neighbors. Who's willing to work for little to nothing smh

[RevolutionaryPrepper-rgkb]

This is why America needs a plan that doesn't rely on the electric companies! Energy independence now!

[blueswadeshoes]

The con Ed bill is crazy high as it is. If they get their wage increase, us regular folks are going to have to pay for it.

[SpiritualConduit]

ohhh look.. threatening a strike.. during a heatwave. Like businesses that don't pay their wait staff, we all will be forced to pay the difference to cover the wage difference

[MayTheOddsBeInYourFavor]

This shouldn’t be allowed. Like they can’t choose a strike during a heatwave 😒 I don’t like when people hold a gun to my head and this feels like that.

[anotherhuman]

All these opinions but none of u are actually doing this work.

[Lkmsundastood]

You know how many deaths there could be if they go on strike smh, stop playing with their money.

[angelaortiz]

I agree they should get what they want Call Edison should get what they want. They work very very hard.

[rastafari]

The workers should get a living wage on par with the ever rising costs of living in NYC…

[Gizmo]

Maybe try and climb a pole with 30, 000 volts for cheap. Cmon man

[ajporter]

Get ready for another increase .
Hasn’t this been a great 3 1/2 years.

[halid]

No problem, the mayor and governor will give the illegals the job.

[martha]

How much do the top executives make? They need to halt their raises or decrease their pay to pay the workers. Enough.

[olgatellomorrow]

The Democrats must get and shake the feathers of companies who are trying to cut benefits and salary to hard working people.

[TheyKnowIKnowWeKnow]

They trynna break pockets till ppl turn everything off

[MbisonBalrog]

The shareholders gonna have to give up some money. Customers cannot pay anymore.

[stelity]

wtf why would you bother striking? Just get every union member together and start your own electric company.
