It’s happening here and there we notice. Edits in the system to a time earlier than we left. Just a couple of minutes but sometimes chunks like 20.
What can we “threaten” them with (there is a “how can we make things better” board I have been writing pro-labor stuff on.
I thought about saying we will go to the state Dept of Labor, contact the Federal Dept of Labor, the NLRB, or even our (worthless) union.
Essentially I want to help scare them into not fucking with us. I have a huge chunk (more than half) of the people on my shift who agree with me (and they are all the good, effective workers).
My job just had the entire receiving team walk off, and 7 people from produce did the next day. Management is weak.
EDIT:::
Tried to talk to people and I got laughed at and mocked and jokes were made. No one took me serious about trying to make things better for us, yet they bitch and moan all the time about conditions and our bosses.
IMO this is most likely going to end up involving lawyers. Talk to an attorney and/or your union. In the meantime, keep good records of when you are clocking in and out.
I would suggest at least getting some initial legal advice before you bring this up with your employer — that way you can be confident in your legal position when you do talk to them. Some lawyers may do a free initial consult — call a few up and ask. You've mentioned that you are a member of the IWW, hopefully they can assist with that.
If you do engage a lawyer, don't do anything without running it past them. Lawyers hate it when clients come in and go "hey so I just went and said some stuff to the employer, is any of that going to be a problem?"
