I work for a fortune 500 hundred company known for their magic. You know the one, well they decided to close my department to swap to a third part company instead, probably because it’s cheaper but the problem is that our union representative has been useless in allowing us to relocate within the company.
To give context, i have worked with the company for 9 years and started in merchandise, which is apart of the same union i am under now with floral which is closing.
They gave us options to say our preferred locations for going to merchandise and I didn’t want to return to my starting position and told them so. So have many others in my department told them they didn’t want specific areas. The union representative proceeded to place not just one but ALL of us in the locations we didn’t want and caused several of my coworkers to flat out quit over it.
Unions can feel useless sometimes especially ones under the mouse.
Thanks for reading my rant.
