-When employees attempted to unionize and expensive teams were hired to stop them because the open door policy was better than a union
-When a coworker started losing feeling in her legs and was forced/tricked into quitting by our boss who had asked her to come work there in the first place
-When my boss started giving prescription anxiety meds out when employees got stressed
-When I had a doctors note saying it wasn’t safe for me to come into work and I was told to anyway (and did)
-When a coworker worked through contractions to qualify for maternity leave
