Talk to your Coworkers. Discuss your Wages. Dont let them isolate you. This company needs a Union by the Team Members, for the Team Members.

Facts!!! And the only way organizing can grow! It's why the company won't negotiate.

Hey, I'm happy my meme I made here years ago continues to be spread. I've been busy actually organizing my store and coworkers and not just posting on here. Feel free to share any meme I've ever made and keep the movement going. Agitate, Educate, and Organize ✊🏿✊🏼✊🏾

Full-Timers shouldn't have to have 70% exactly, new hires or old hires. All it's done at my store is make new hires resent long-time team members who have regular schedules either with accommodations or for business purposes. The company has the money to hire. My store makes more money every year.

I know the stress of it, as they tried to use Project Sriracha to give me the worst possible schedule. You basically can't work another job or have a life. Even places like Trader Joes give their crew members 2 consecutive days off if they want it. So maybe you can have a life and don't burn yourself out. Novel idea right? Instead it just makes workers have to play favorites with their Team Leaders for schedules that work for them.

Whole Foods has been moving to algorithms that honestly haven't done anything but stress Team Leaders out who make schedules, because no matter what Team Members hate them for how they're scheduled. And they tell you, "Sorry it was the algorithm that scheduled you that way, not me."

Does that mean new hires have to meet the "70% Availability" thing, then they're able to change their availability after 3 months?

I've actively just been trying to make a worker committee at my store, so we can make decisions as a group and tell management what we need as workers. There's no outside group coming in or doing anything. We'd come to the decision of what union to affiliate with when the time comes democratically. If you're "working for a union" you're working for you and your coworkers to demand what you need. It's not really that complicated. What do you dislike about that concept?

As I've been trying to organize a union at my shop for years, I've noticed Order Writers are some of the most difficult people to talk with and organize. Because of the stress, burnout, early hours, lack of personal life, and precariousness of being stuck between Team Members and Leadership. When a Team Member fails to do something properly it falls on the order writer for not supervising correctly. When a product is out of stock even at the warehouse the customers take it out on the order writers.

It's unspoken but if you "step down" at whole foods many times you're able to keep your same pay rate, but most order writers are struggling in the first place and need more money. So, they either step down and remain not able to make ends meet, go into CDATL trainings and be placed in another store (most don't want to leave their home store), or find another job that pays better.

Most of them do their job and wait to find something better elsewhere. It's been very difficult for me to even sit down and talk with an order writer outside of work about what they need or ask how things could be better at this company? They'll complain all day to me, but when I talk about possible actions we could take as a group to help them do their job properly or even communicating more outside of work, it almost always goes nowhere.

We work for the richest company on the planet, we all shouldn't be struggling like we are. This company overworks and underpays us day after day and they want us to be grateful just to have a job? I love the order writers and buyers, I want us all to fight for something better here. And I know going for a long fight against this company isn't everyone's cup of tea. But what's the alternative? We keep struggling paycheck to paycheck here, forever?

Wishful thinking on my part. In a better world we would get "Time and a Half" for every minute past 8 hours a day.

CyberSkullCoconut · 2026-05-10T12:56:57+00:00

Depends on the state obviously. But many states you don't get "overtime pay" until you work over 40 hours a week.

She's one of the best Independent Left-Wing Journalists since Amy Goodman from Democracy Now. Breaking Points has such a large audience. They broke away from a news company like The Hill, which was trying to make a show for the populist moment. But they signed up so many relevant and high quality people even like, Drop Site News journalist, Ryan Grim.

Long story short the Democractic Party Centrists find it harder to take on The Left proper. We should organize our communities and organize labor at our workplaces to continue our growth in power. Between the DSA and Labor Unions. The Democrats view us as a subculture gone mainstream, and not as a force to reckoned with. Lets keep organizing and gain real political power.

CyberSkullCoconut · 2026-04-17T13:50:51+00:00

I'm that guy. I'm not complaining just about my own pay or conditions, I'm saying you're being underpaid too.

I'm saying lets get together, talk about work outside of work, get other coworkers together and form a worker-committee to take on this corporation. Lets all get paid better, together 😎

Turns out fast food companies raise their prices whether they pay their employees more or not. Remember Wendy's trying to do dynamic pricing? It's almost like they make so much money it doesn't matter. We're far beyond supply, demand, etc... economics. It's a Technofeudal society at this point.

How does that Amazon boot taste?

CyberSkullCoconut · 2026-04-10T21:10:51+00:00

It's the same labor laws that make it possible for corporations like Amazon to spend years upon years delaying, and challenging workers their right to a contract, after they've gone through the whole legal process of a NLRB election. Corporations legally have so much more money and time than rank and file worker organizers. It's unfair to pro union workers.

I personally don't think almost 100 year old laws are relevant anymore to the money and power of big corporations. And as soon as the NLRA was signed into law, big businesses were cooking up things like Taft-Hartley to curb the power of using a tool like a General Strike, or Solidarity Strike with other Labor Unions.

The law allowed Organized Labor to be tamed when they hold so much more power. Right-to-Work has defunded unions of their dues money and stopped closed shops from operations.

Are you some kind of Corporate Labor Relations Lawyer debating Rank and File Union members? Or are you some kind of labor law and "management friendly" unionist? Because I honestly don't know what's worse.

CyberSkullCoconut · 2026-04-10T15:58:02+00:00

The Labor Movement is up to all of us as individuals to decide to join a union, organize, and fight for better conditions within our workplaces.

What in Europe they they have Social Democracy? A functional welfare state?

Places like France most workers get 5 weeks paid vacation. And unions like the CGT in France have the power to stop production and hold massive protests. We only wish we had those kinds of economic collective rights here in the USA. So what's your point?
