I work at a Mcdonalds in Georgia theres about 20 employees and 5 managers in the store total. Lets say I have talked to 10-15 employees and they will commit to voting yes for a union where do i go from there. How do I actually get a vote for a union? Dont we need a big union to “sponsor” us for lack of a better word or a union we will become a part of? What all is involved how difficult is it in practice?

I'm a “manager” at a call center. I say “manager” because I have all, The duty and responsibility, but not the pay and ability to make decisions for the company. I've stayed loyal to this company. We were raided by the feds at one point and I never opened my mouth, unlike many others. I write scripts for the company, I coach people,I do everything I possibly can to help my employees make more more through commission. I advocate for my employees to upper management and try to make their life easier and more lucrative. I have control of a commission board and everyone normally gets a bit extra,if not double what they should(what the fuck should I care, its not my money, and they deserve it). What gets me is that I have stayed loyal,I bust my ass to make the business as best I can.i come in with…

Ive heard stuff like better healthcare and education in Canada and higher wages in America. So whats the deal? When it comes to wanting to live a financially stable life which one could be considered “better”

Found out he went out of his way to submit that I quit (never signed anything, no exit interview, not even a text). So my UI benefits are in “adjudication” limbo and I have no idea wtf I'm supposed to do. Google said it may be 45-60 days and that's probably pre-covid wait times. All because this idiot doesn't like my attitude because I wasn't a yes man. Not that management ever communicated shit anyway. They couldn't even get their stories straight between themselves. We would get 3 different orders. I really pray that I can appeal as there's no proof… but of course employees in the US have no rights. Good thing I saw this coming and had been internally referred to a job in another state that pays 5x the salary and is, quote, desperate for new hires. Oh wait, they rejected my application. After I moved. Guess…

I returned to work today after taking the day off yesterday because of various personal reasons.. tldr; my coworker’s a dick, I hardly take time off and work my fat ass off but here we are with yet another toxic work environment. I’m a full time, manager of a team that has been understaffed and overworked since October. I’ve also been working some form of over time since like..November most weeks because like everyone else right now, our team has been so short staffed and our leadership doesn’t give a shit and continues to push work to us. I take responsibility for me working OT. However, I deserve a little more respect from my colleagues for the below..not the shit toxic comment I received. I have managed thru a pandemic, a shit-ton of changing environments at work, a fucking snow/ice storm of the century in Texas, keeping my kid home…
