To begin with, I’ve made it a habit to scare the higher ups with open union and worker’s rights threats. Nothing, not a single thing has been done, but it’s good to keep them on their toes.
When in the break room with others, if a manager enters or steps in to se what’s up, I will quickly pretend that we need to change subjects, something like “hey let’s talk about the union later” or “Hey how’s it going guys? Nothing much just talking about striking”
Well, now the big boss has gotten wind of this and does NOT find it funny one bit. I didn’t outright tell them I was joking, but I assured them that if there really was a union or a union push, they’d know about it and wouldn’t be finding out about it through break room jokes.
I sincerely hope that you guys are organizing a union as well. Although your strategy of pranking/scaring the managers and bosses probably work and are funny too, forming a union can do so much more in terms of salary, working conditions and worker participation in workplace policy making.
Anyways, thumbs up for keeping the bosses on their toes!
I would absolutely love to, but I live in Texas where they can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all.
And fire you they will, as soon as you show you’re not anti-union they’ll search for the smallest thing. Unionize, and know your Weingarten rights.
Absolutely, unfortunately I have kind of met my limits with this company and I’m ready to move on.
