There are only two productive answers to being asked to cover a shift on your day off

1.) “Sure, I can do that.” ​ 2.) “Unfortunately I am unavailable.” ​ Anything else is an invitation to get into an argument. Anything that you receive in response to Answer #2 should be left on read. There you go, there's your answer to 3/4 of the “screenshots of a conversation with my manager” posts on this sub. You're welcome.

PreEmployment drug testing needs to be ended

Before I am attacked I get there is sometimes a reason for this, but damn near most of the time it is for pot on a job where it doesn't matter. These tests either need to be made so expensive that they can't be administered casually like is happening now, or there needs to be worker protections enshrined in law.

Amazon Breaking More Laws

Tl;Dr. Amazon Warehouse in Colorado Springs is using an illegal phone jammer in their warehouse/recruiting site. I was getting desperate for a job so I bit the bullet & applied to Amazon, go in to do the precise screening & drug test & they tell me I missed a document online that I need to do real quick. I go to pull it up from my email & there is no signal at all (grayed out with the small x over the icon for signal bars) & she informs me we need to connect our phones to the wifi to check email so I say something along the lines “im not giving you access to my device, why isn't my phone working?

Any company planning to go public should be required to unionize their workforce. Any company that is already traded publicly should be given a set amount of time (6 months, for example) to fully unionize their employees.

We need to boycott Starbucks NOW.

Starbucks is making an attack on workers' rights by performing unionbusting action of questionable legality. We must send the message that this kind of behavior is unacceptable and we will hurt you if you attempt to disrupt the formation of unions. This isn't just about Starbucks anymore. We need to terrify these greedy corporations as a whole and discipline the shit out of them. Start making your own coffee or supporting other businesses if you care about workers' rights. Union strong!
