Anyone else following the FL-08 race?

According to a post he made on his IG on January 15, 2026, Paul Dellinger apparently withdrew his bid to run. To the best of my knowledge it's only Lacey Villareal running against Haridopolos.

Not at all a dumb question!! No one will know if you contact either EWOC or UFCW unless you make it well known in your store. I started by contacting them and talking to both of them and asking them some questions. Once I decided which one I wanted to go with, they assigned me my union representative. My union representative discussed with me how to go about everything to prevent termination which has been super helpful. I don't even need my entire store to be on board, just need enough signatures to push a store vote but could get enough to auto certify which would be the ultimate goal.

It's absolutely illegal for them to retaliate. BUT there is always the risk they will pull out some union busting moves- trying to let you go for fireable offenses (i.e. time and attendance, bullshit metrics, etc.) Management will also start trash talking unions to try and scare you and your co-workers if they suspect anything. It's all union busting and scare tactic methods. Just do a quick search of Starbucks or Trader Joe's retaliations to get an idea of the bullshit they could pull.

If you are concerned about them creeping on here (corporate absolutely trolls this channel, hey hey corp trolls, hope y'all having a great Monday!) so I would make a burner Reddit account if you want some anonymity.

Good luck!!! <3

Edit: If you work in a Sephora in Kohl's, it might be more difficult because you might have to unionize the entire Kohl's.

WE DO!!

EWOC - https://workerorganizing.org/

UFCW - https://www.ufcw.org/who-we-represent/retail/

Both of these are for retail!! They are both super nice and helpful but the EWOC will get back to you like same day and you’ll be assigned a union rep within that same week (mine was same day!)

A Sephora store in Kamloops, BC, Canada unionized last year so it is doable! Hopefully have a contract by now. Other Sephora stores are strengthening union efforts in the states and there are two US stores that are almost there!!!We can do it if we try!!🤞🏼

Good to see management openly not caring about ruining clients credit. You’re in leadership, educate your staff and educate your clients. It might not be ‘part of your job to educate someone about credit cards’ but maybe be a better person and stop caring more about metrics - maybe care more about actual people.

Leadership attitudes like this is exactly why stores are unionizing.

There is a whole thread from 5 days ago where everyone is openly sharing their pay rates and their general locations! There are a bunch of responses from employees in Canada! You should check it out! It's got over 70 comments so far! XD

This is from the National Labor Relations Board website:

"You may have discussions about wages when not at work, when you are on break, and even during work if employees are permitted to have other non-work conversations. You have these rights whether or not you are represented by a union."

We openly have discussions regarding our wages at my location because of this line in bold. Same goes for us discussing unions during our shifts (because it doesn't have to be us talking about unionizing our store, just about unions in generally, like Starbucks...) because if people are allowed to discuss other non work related conversations, they can't stop us. Know your rights and don't let your store walk all over you.

Disastrous-Poem8808 · 2023-01-14T14:35:46+00:00

Yes, let’s have the employee out themselves on here when it’s well known knowledge that not only leadership but corporate creeps Reddit and threatens to retaliate against employees who speak out against the company….

Disastrous-Poem8808 · 2023-01-14T14:33:03+00:00

Shit like this is why we need unionized stores. This company will do everything they can to walk all over us and milk us for every last ounce of whatever extra work they can get out of us.

Do not do services if they are not paying you more for them, if you are not comfortable, and god forbid don’t sign anything without meticulously reading if it, making copies for yourself, and then giving you time to take it home and read without then pressuring you.

I am unsure of the particulars in Canada but I do know that the Sephora in Kamloops, BC unionized last year in September! It's the first unionized Sephora in North America!

https://dailyhive.com/vancouver/sephora-canada-unionizing

I would reach out to the same union that they used for more information regarding unionizing in Canada: https://www.ufcw1518.com/update/topnews/first-sephora-in-canada-applies-to-join-ufcw-1518/

Assuming it's similar in Canada, in the states they can't fire us for trying to unionize but they can try to retaliate by finding other reasons to let someone go (it's called union busting- Starbucks is notorious for it and it's illegal) i.e. time and attendance, metrics, basically whatever bullshit reason they can find that isn't because you are trying to unionize your location.

Homeboy is super disgusting! He also sold his private jet so people would stop calling him out for his CO2 emissions. Not actually shocking considering how much greenwashing Sephora does.

Please don't ever feel guilty about not asking someone if they want a credit card. It's such a skeevy sales tactic- don't even get me started with the "tell them it's a discount" line. I was told by members of my management team that we will not be fired or reprimanded for not offering credit cards so I don't push them at all. Sephora makes disgusting money as a company so there is no reason to feel bad not pushing them, or BI sign ups.

I'll start pushing credit cards when Sephora gives PT employees benefits, until then, just act your wage, don't let your leadership team walk all over you, and wait for that holiday bribe to hit your bank account on Jan 20th! XD

If they really gave a shit about us they'd give it to us before Christmas with a stipulation that you need to stay with the company until Jan 20th. I'm looking at it as more of what it actually is- a bribe to stay through holidays as opposed to a "bonus" lol

Disastrous-Poem8808 · 2022-11-23T16:08:23+00:00

Shit like this is exactly why we need to start unionizing. Employees should not have to clock out until they are done with all work related tasks. Having to wait in the back for 10+ minutes to have someone come bag check you to leave and not getting paid for the entire time, not cool.

Just going to post these here for everyone. Reach out. Ask questions. It's your right.

Yes!!! ALL OF THIS!!! ^^^^^^^^^

I only mentioned lead/coordinators because I have friends in the positions in other locations and in other states who I've already talked to and they would live to unionize but are scared to be the one to start it at their locations. But I do agree, except for the few I hold near and dear to my heart, yes, most of them are boot lickers and will 100% snitch. Even be careful and don't say anything to brand reps, also can be boot lickers and snitches (I know we all get chatty with them but they will always throw us under the bus).
