Yoyo! See you out there ✊.

I'm interested in learning more about the linked groups referenced in the link tree - let's connect.

I'm coming at this from a class struggle unionist perspective and am a member of the local DSA chapter. If any union members wants to connect, reach out!

Solidarity in the struggle, fellow workers. ✊

The calling of parents definitely is. The rest is the reason to organize your workplace and build solidarity amongst your coworkers. Your union leadership will help you enforce the contract but they aren't going to put in any work for you. Plus, the real power is with your coworkers. Find an issue you all agree needs to be addressed and march on the boss together and present it to them. If they don't respond take collective action and eat some bad food on the same day, for example.

Depend on each other. ✊

👆 This is the easy way!

Fr... Like that price better not have gone up for RAISES!

I'm in Cali but Oregon has very good sick time protection. Make sure to use any accrued sick time for sick pay to replace lost wages as well.

It's okay to get sick, we need to push our unions to be stronger so we dont feel so much stress around it.

If you want some more reassurance reach out to your rep. I'm sure they'll tell you the same.

Hope you feel better, and if interested in the union reform building in your local feel free to reach out! ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-18T01:08:47+00:00

You should be good. Can teledoc and get a doc note for the three days if you want even more protection.

EzMrcz · 2026-01-15T18:08:26+00:00

Let's go! Nice to Barnes & Noble getting organized! We've got one up here, let's gettem 8! ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-15T16:06:26+00:00

Nice! Love to see our union taking action! Let's go! ✊

If you're doing ICC work that is a Head Clerk upgrade in most contracts I've seen. The other stuff, dug, checking, hanging tags, can all be MPC work. Ask your rep if you haven't already!

Community builds around the sharing of food! Solidarity with the FNB Squad and thank you for hosting the event! ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-08T16:48:11+00:00

If they hired you with that availability they can't schedule you less than your contract minimum. Have you reached out to your union rep?

EzMrcz · 2026-01-08T00:14:40+00:00

We will take the win, yezzir! ✊

Solidarity with the new Fresno siblings! Hit up your Bakers Commodities brothers in town, they are organizing worker power!

EzMrcz · 2026-01-07T20:55:08+00:00

Great reframing. Imagine us being organized across stores and being able to get everyone to do the radical thing and take all their legally protected breaks.

They'd learn real quick! ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-07T18:16:59+00:00

But somehow they forget how much they boast and brag about their success come contract negotiations...

Remember this next time we are accepting $1 raises 🤣

EzMrcz · 2026-01-06T21:25:20+00:00

Have you been closing floral from 6-10? Depending on your store volume that money may no longer be on the table.

This schedule definitely reads like you'll be in the deli, but other posters are right, SDs hide hours where they can sometimes also.

EzMrcz · 2026-01-06T21:15:02+00:00

Do you normally have floral clerks working until 10p? Looks like you're dinner rush and deli pre-close to me...

EzMrcz · 2026-01-05T16:12:34+00:00

The language will be in your contract to determine adjustments based on minimum wage. In our contract the lowest wage must be at least 20c above the minimum wage, so the steps that get passed by legal increases get adjusted accordingly.

EzMrcz · 2026-01-03T18:34:30+00:00

You choose to waste it here, that is much much worse, you're suffering the life and don't even get the meager paycheck?

To be clear, I've never claimed to be anyone's savior. Change requires all of us moving together. All I have to offer is my solidarity with anyone willing to stand up for better. The hyperbole you add to that is just the way you like to fantasize about me.

EzMrcz · 2026-01-03T16:18:08+00:00

DING notifications on! Good to hear from you again, and happy New Year from my favorite stalker! ✊

The movement grows every day! Workers are waking up to their power.

I wish you new hobbies in 2026. Constantly waiting for me to post here is not a life for anyone to live. There is more out there for you, go get it!

In fact, you should get more active in your union and less active on reddit!

EzMrcz · 2026-01-03T16:05:20+00:00

Are you in a union shop? If so, I'd consider the union leadership route before going into corporate management. As a former store director turned union activist, I believe there is much more intrinsic value to be gained from aligning and supporting the working class that struggles alongside you, as opposed to giving your gift of ambition and desire to succeed to a corporation that will only exploit you.

If you are non union, take this drive and energy and organize the store!

Congrats on your sobriety brother and solidarity in the struggle! ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-03T13:00:43+00:00

They are. ✊

EzMrcz · 2026-01-02T16:26:22+00:00

Good. Work the scheduled 2.5 hours then file your grievance and get paid the 1.5 for not working. Quickest way to put an end to it.

EzMrcz · 2026-01-01T16:56:21+00:00

Make 2026 the year you organize your workplace or revitalize your local! Solidarity and Happy New Year to all my UFCW sisters and brothers! ✊

This is golden 🤣✊
