Just wanted to drop in and say this is our second contract that just passed a few days ago with 66 and I've never felt like they turned their backs on us till now. The seasoned employees saw this coming from a mile away. The negotiations were sold out before they ever began, the Assistant BA told me on the phone they were going to try to get this done as quick as possible and fix some minor things and push it through. Our negotiating committee was railroaded into this agenda that was set before they even called them up and the deal was already made we feel before pen was put to paper. The company threw money on it to make it go away with some raises which address their shortage of lineman and lineman leaving. 66 sold us down river and left a bad taste in alot of people's mouths, even some saying if there was ever a de-cert vote , they would vote it out.

Probably The old HL&P or CenterPoint Energy Started there in 1967, got my Journeyman Lineman ticket with a 2 year apprenticeship, and beat feet to Construction, and never looked back.
