Long story short I’m being suspended after rules were enforced and I keep breaking these rules, I’m in shift work and I never wait for my replacement because they always come in late so I always leave before they arrive. Ironically I’m the one being penalized in this case and not the people coming in late, I definitely know they’re pulling this now because me and a few others unionized, there’s other bs I can’t get into but it seems like they’re just trying their best to remove the unionized workers but I have no proof so it won’t benefit me.
I know that one person got fired over something but they were unionized so they got rehired. I have a feeling like it won’t help my case that I’ve been leaving when I want because it just looks bad, can the union help me get a job or prevent me from termination?
I don’t think my comrades will walk out, one of them (my friend) wouldn’t even let me leave first because it was my dad’s birthday, this is 5 minutes difference too. Same person didn’t get some certification the management asked us to get twice so it’s not a good case for him. I’ll talk to my other unionized friend and then contact the union but he’s older than me and I feel he would handle the situation better than I would. I will discuss this with him and see what we can do and maybe organize a walk out
If y'all aren't ready to organize and walk out for each other you're going to lose any half-assed decertification campaign anyways. Might as well not have a union.
Someone else should've already been doing this on your behalf. How is your union organized? Do you have a shop steward or similar person that would be the natural "go-to"? Or other workers that are active?
