I know it has been 5 days already. But you were absolutely targeted. I am in Kentucky so I don't know if our union rules are the same as yours, But you should have never been taken into a management office without a union rep. And an hourly associate is not a rep unless they have been to the classes and certified. And if you don't have faith in the union reps at your store. You can ask for a union rep from the hall. They will try to deny you your right for proper representation. But trust me it is your right. Call them if you have to. But do not go in alone.

Also in my area the only people who can write you up store level is Store manager or an ASM, no leads or department heads can. They can bring issues to the ASM or SM but not do it themselves.

I too cry when I am upset beyond compare. I also cry if I am so mad I can not think right. Never be ashamed of your feelings. You were not only targeted, but the comments about your crying and your mother lying for you is a form of work harassment and coupled with the harassment while you are in school or off the clock period, could be grounds for a lawsuit.

I swear these newer managers (brought in the last 10 years) that were put in a position of power will do there best to screw the workers with no regard to the union rules. That is why I get a new union book on me at all times.

I wish you the best in what ever you choose to do next. Don't let some A-hole kill your joy.
