Workers at IBM are not unionized but some are uniting against pay cuts affecting thousands of jobs.

IBM employs people at its site in Endicott.

The company is reclassifying 76 hundred technical support workers nationwide.

They will now get overtime pay, but IBM cut their salary.

A company spokesperson says their pay should be about the same, and IBM is not saving any money.

But members of Alliance at IBM say the cut equals about 15 percent of a workers salary.

"At a time when 401Ks are going down, medical co-pays are going up. This is just...it's never a good time for pay cuts, this is a really bad time for it," says Lee Conrad of Alliance at IBM.

Alliance at IBM put a petition on its website for employees to sign.

They hope to gather enough support from employees to go to IBM to negotiate.

IBM made the change based on the settlement of an overtime lawsuit and the Fair Labor Standards Act.
