Linemen Just Went on Strike in NC After NOT being Paid for 8 Weeks by FEMA

[Moonglow]

Rumor: Line workers working to restore power in North Carolina went on strike because FEMA had not paid them for weeks.​

This is false. FEMA does not pay line workers directly. Electrical cooperative, private electrical or private communications and cable companies pay their employees and contractors.
In some situations, FEMA may reimburse eligible rural electrical cooperatives providing a governmental service for expenses resulting from a disaster through Public Assistance grants, but the agency does not pay workers directly. Private for-profit companies are not eligible for Public Assistance grants.

Not so, little lady. They are paid indirectly by FEMA.

Even your Republican friends on this thread have admitted that . FEMA does not pay workers other than their direct full time employees directly. So that is not true
Just go sit in the corner

I never claimed they were working FOR FEMA. You ARE JUST A MORON.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. (WLOS) — News 13 took several calls on Wednesday, Oct. 30 from linemen who said they were not being compensated, despite having worked long hours over several weeks.

They gathered in the old Sears parking lot off South Tunnel Road after the work stoppage began at 7:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

The company, Next Era Communications, contracted crews and bucket trucks from across the country beginning in early October to help Western North Carolina rebuild after Helene.


Miguel Burgos, who owns Next Era, told News 13 that Next Era is contracting with MasTec, who is contracting with Spectrum.

He said his people have not been paid for work they did between October 7-13 despite entering into a payment term called a Net 14 with MasTec, which they told News 13 would have them paid 15 days after they filed their first invoice.

Just before 12:30 p.m., better news came in.

So, they have agreed to pay us our first week so they will be paying all of us tomorrow," Reid relayed to his linemen. "So, we will be getting paid tomorrow and our per diem.

Reid said his crews would take the rest of the day and return to work Thursday after the money comes in.

Even if they were linemen, which I doubt.
They probably staged it wherever the trucks were parked, then made a video.

YES.
