Been in a Grocery Workers union. They sucked and were toothless. When they actually got their shit together and organized a strike the company was gonna hire scabs and continue to operate as normal and then the motherfucking TEAMSTERS showed up and said they weren't going to deliver to ANY STORE WITH STRIKING WORKERS.
Corporate was trying to change the rules for healthcare for the newer hires. They backed down real quick. Love to all my Grocery workers, and coworkers from my past. We need you. You are vital. Special shout out to the older woman who mentored me when I was a fresh faced 19 year old loser and taught me how to swear in Yiddish.
My store (coworkers) has exactly 0 political initiative. The only person remotely interested in union politics is a boomer lib. Shit is just so depressing, especially when part timers are put through the grinder for minimum wage. The union, for better or worse, held on to some concessions for the lifers but the next gen is SOL. Just makes you lose hope in the future
