Not doing this anonymously as I feel like that wastes a bit of time and tones down the issue at-hand.
A friend of mine in the North (US) is working at a notable pizza-chain, likely the best-performing one in the state (and proven), but them / their manager have been trying to push around the idea of unionization or collective -forced- bargaining for a while — with little to no pushback from staff, or seemingly public support.
This friend and manager have constantly had time off pulled away from them, not seeing a day off in likely several weeks — And the effect is definitely noticeable. They're being paid like shit, treated like shit, and worked to the bone — With little in the way of recompense, or a means to hire new staff to help others rest.
I want to help this place change — and for the better. It's seriously fucked-up how often the crew and others are tossed around, and honestly need advice on how best to approach this.
Original idea was simply to call the store / shower with praise / hint at the idea of unionization, but figured poking about here would warrant better results.
I won't share store info publicly, if only out of respect for those friends — But I might be receptive in DM, mainly if I receive info for helping them out as a whole.
Thank you, and whoever out there, in advance for this.
