EF- Mud takes longer to dry on Wed/Thur when it was raining than yesterday when it was dry.... lol
Okay so a strike would affect us how? What else can you think of in addition to the few I have below?
Higher rates if HECO employees receive raises?
Power outages if same employees are on strike?
Slower response times to electrical event?
Which employees does this affect? out in the field line workers? meter readers? (I'm not gonna cry if my bill is slow!) Secretaries? exactly who is in this particular union.
And if we refer to averages - are their wages comparable with COLA here to same jobs on mainland?
and honestly HECO is a monopoly.
HI TEL used to be before the advent of Skyp, roadrunner tel, cells, etc. My land line w/ DSL is less than 1/2 what it was in 1990 with dial up. So breaking up the monopoly might not be a bad thing necessarily.
