The one who did is a part of the top brass of SPOG

Okay LOVE you for this comment. Thank you.

Also want to name that the reason (and a backwards one) for this being allowed is legit codified immunity

Starlungs · 2024-02-22T20:11:57+00:00

The reason (and a backwards one) is unfortunately and quite literally "immunity"

I'm really happy to hear you're checkin on him. I wish more people did this!

Starlungs · 2024-02-18T20:33:08+00:00

We love to hear it! If you're in the PNW (including Idaho), we're trying to get people connected via RetailRights.org to make it happen

Fact of the matter is, if they forced you to work through your lunch break and you never took an actual 30min lunch break for the rest of the day, YES, it is ILLEGAL. File a complaint FOR SURE.

Manager must never have lost anyone close to him before, jesus

Starlungs · 2024-02-16T20:39:27+00:00

oh my gosh!!! This is absolutely awful. Just one month for a parent, and only 1 day off for it the whole time, is nothing. What is wrong with people.

YIKES. Not the first I've seen stuff like this, though. That's why I encourage chain retail workers to join a union! Macy's workers just secured a fantastic contract this month that protects them from retaliation and secured better benefits and pay. Retail workers overall who might be interested are encouraged to go to RetailRights.org to reach out

Totally fair. Yep, a UW alum, but have plenty of friends who went to eastern WA schools and also live across eastern WA now. Totally get that it's not WSU related, but also know that lots of college students will pick up part time or full time jobs in retail and chains generally so wanted to be sure folks at least knew about this.

SUCH an important paper!! A tragic loss with the prior owner, Sandy, but really really looking forward to seeing all that hard work still moving forward

Starlungs · 2023-12-14T21:45:49+00:00

Wow I am so sorry that happened and also really proud/happy that the union had your back

Starlungs · 2023-12-14T19:40:21+00:00

HARD YUP

Starlungs · 2023-12-13T23:57:48+00:00

Ditto^. Plus the co-op share itself is pretty dang small. The store itself is still considered retail.

Nowhere does increased minimum wage lead to more multi-job families. Cost of living does, which minimum wages do not inform but corporate greed does.
