Technical staff at New York-based media network Charter Communications will be given another chance of unionizing after an initial attempt failed to receive enough support. The union Local 1212 of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, initially failed to gain enough votes to organize some 70 employees of Charter Communications. The network’s owner, NY1, has now taken the unusual step of authorizing another vote on the issue.
