Union vs At-Will

This may be a really dumb question, but I’ve been wondering how firings work for unionized employees that work in at-will states. Does the union define fireable offenses or does the at-will state rule take precedence and employees can still be fired for anything?

Generally TJ maxx is a good store to work for but my store manager was an asshole

The location that I work at wouldn’t let us take off work from 12/20-12/26 because it’s peak sales and they needed everyone they could get which I understand. However I live in a town with a major college in the state I live in. Most of the people that go there aren’t more than 4hr drive from their home town. At least 40% of the staff goes to this college and isn’t from this city. You are expecting them to stay and work for $11/hr compared to spending time with there families. Yea fuck that We had a tornado warning last month. The sirens started going off cause 4 tornadoes had touched down; within 5 miles of the store that work at. We have a home goods right next to us that is also owned my TJX. They closed cause their store manager had the decency to ask the general…

Bathroom Breaks

Wondering how many others appreciate the brief little mental health break they get along with a bathroom break. I’m grateful most companies still allow them and that nobody wants to really accuse anyone of taking too long of one. Anybody’s work places have crazy rules around bathroom usage?

Boss Refuse To Hand Me My Final Pay

So I worked for this housekeeping company for nearly a year, and recently just dropped this company since my mom's job is fooling around with her hours since she is older and will demand she takes five days off if someone tests positive for covid. So I need something that will provide me with the hours I need, as well as insurance. My boss was not happy, and demanded ill will for me in the future, and victimized themselves saying they had done so much for me, but I had done so much for them, they oftentimes dismiss how uncomfortable I am, and how unsafe I feel, and they failed to inform me plenty of times of their absence from work, and I was basically working their schedule So yesterday was pay day, and I still didn't receive my final pay, which is fine, I will probably get it Friday…

It IS awful

I am hoping to get a few ideas as to whom I could write a strongly worded letter to about work conditions and possible violations of labor laws. I'm in IL.

I understand people working for facebook to make sure the platform doesn’t become more dangerous but there is absolutely no reason anyone that has tech experience should be working for Amazon

One of the mot evil companies out there. If they have no tech employees they will fail and they are not a necessity and won’t continued to be used around the world if they have no tech employees. If you work on the tech side of amazon please work somewhere else. You have valuable experience and a remote job

An easy win?

We should all start demanding that check out clerks and greeters, etc get chairs to sit in. It’s ridiculous that this is not already common practice.

Guaranteed salary, i just need to rant.

In my country we have minimum wage and also guaranteed salary, which depends on your job category by dificulty and responsibility. Today i realise my salary wasn't raise two years in a row ️ (My fault, i should know about that law, but we pay 'salary accounter' whos responsibility is control and comply with the law.) My boss constantly cry about that we don't make enough money, which is not true because i see in to the system. Yes we don't make enough money to feed their 6 horses, a farm, a pig and a flock of hens. Tomorrow i will send long email. Sorry for my english, its not my first language. I am so stressfull and upset and disapointed right now
