Just got this email today. Congratulations to all who worked their asses off for 11 years to get a $2.45 raise. Looks like the union isn’t actually protecting anyone.

FTC proposes rule to ban noncompete clauses, which hurt workers and harm competition.

Got told off for buying a $1 dollar bottle of water

I worked as a delivery man (for my brother of all people) and I complained since I kept getting paid days late (I got paid per day in cash, completely off the books but I needed the money) and since i had the nerve to complain about it he told me off for buying water using company money.

Because I had been starting it as a new job, I didn’t know what my clock in number was, and the leaders on shift didn’t help. I texted the GM my hours, she said she’d put them in but didn’t. She then said she contacted payroll, still no check. Almost 4 months later I’m filling out a missing wages report, trying to figure out who to include. Then someone from the franchise gives me a call and says I should be expecting my check in the mail either to my address or to the store so I postpone the paperwork. It never did come in the mail. I called the store and still no news at all. I dont…

YouTube is forcing contract workers to return to office or face termination, and offshoring work, in attempt to stop unionization

“Suddenly when we say, ‘Hey, we’re going to unionize,’ it’s like, ‘Hey, let’s get back to office,’” said YouTube worker Neil Gossell, an activist with the union campaign. “So the timing on that seems really suspect.” The complaint also alleges that a supervisor made implied anti-union threats and that management has been transferring work to offices in other places — including India — in an attempt “to chill the union organizing effort” by the Texas staff. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2023-01-24/youtube-uses-return-to-office-push-to-undercut-union-group-says
