My understanding is these are the out of state workers dealing with these issues. Edit: but to be fair I really don’t know. Saw a guy in tiktok who looked like a line worker saying he’s never coming back of TX needs help in the future.
why would someone film that though? If I was in that situation my first instinct would be to remove myself from the situation and not aggravate the person pointing a gun at me.
people film in similar situations all the time, if it were such a common occurrence it would be reasonable to expect at least some actual evidence. centerpoint has been fucking this up every single day, linemen aren’t being given work and are sitting idle in parking lots and it’s been extremely well reported locally so everybody knows it’s management causing problems, not work crews.
also, if people are coming out of their houses with guns brandishing them, well that’s a crime and they’re doing it at their houses so there would be arrests.
Workers rarely ever film themselves in a work related incident, they are trying to maintain professional behaviour. The only party in this interaction likely to film it is the perpetrator if they’re stupid enough to film themselves doing a crime.
I think they said they were investigating five incidents so it’s not like it’s a common occurrence. I can absolutely see there being no video evidence of a few incidents. And they also arrested one person for it. Just seems like a lot of work for something that every energy company in the US is criticized for constantly.
Centerpoint’s fuckup for Beryl is blue ribbon award winning. They didn’t pre-stage any linemen, they lowballed the linemen when they got here, they didn’t provide them with any accommodations, and there’s still people with power out, all from a weaselly little category one. They’ve never done this badly before.
no video of any incidents, tbh this seems like centerpoint trying to shift the blame for their negligence onto locals
