These companies are disgustingly heartless. You're not truly free in this country--you're not even free to spend your time with a loved one if they are literally dying. The most basic ways of humanity are denied to us in the present day

Every time I watch one of these videos I realize that I was a victim of union busting at both Target and Starbucks. It’s a shame because I liked working at both of those locations and I’d go back to working for them if they unionized.

Meanwhile, EVERY politician: I will pretend I didn't hear that.

To Marilina, I hope you find a better job out there and that your husband gets well. To all of the other co-workers at Trader Joe's or are leaving that place, I wish for you all nothing but the best and hope that a good union comes to your aids.

Y'all go! And keep going! This is not only for y'all, but of course u know it's for everyone else that can get stuck & poked just like y'all did. I wish I had money to help y'all that way, but I don't. I've been fighting for my disability for 5 or 6 years. Idk, time runs rampant, & together anymore. But I will meditate on sending all the positive energy I can muster up. Don't ever let corporation's ever get too much power over you. God bless every single one of you. I love you all.

JJs fire story, is identical to a friend of mine about 7 years ago. She gave someone one flowers because her dog died or something, and got fired for that being her 3ed write up. (The others were bogus too) When she filed for unemployment, they would not grant it to her because she had been “fired”. So, she took TJS to court, the judge found in her favor, that our boss had wrongfully fired her and literally said after hearing the story from both sides that “you fired her because you didn’t like her.” She was then able to collect her unemployment till she found a new job. I don’t think anything happened to management or TJs for their actions. This kind of behavior has been going on for a long time, it’s there go to tactic when they want to get rid of someone.

Very sad because for years he employs rated Trader Joe's very highly apparently new manner front came in and there just behaving like Starbucks and Delta and all of these other greedy companies. I don't think the original founder would approve of what's going on with the company he built

Thank you, MPU.

TJ needs to pay its workers what they're paying union busters

I did not know this about trader's joe, wow!

look into williamsburg location next!

So, I was trying to show my friend (a TJ employee) a Netflix doc I saw about TJ’s and how they treat their employees and I’ve been searching high and low for it but haven’t found ANY traces of this documentary. At first I questioned myself about if it even existed but when I stumbled across this video, I know for sure this clip was part of it and it looked familiar. I even remember telling my cousins to watch it. Now I wanna know what happened to it and why it was taken down and disappeared off the internet??

thank you

Many people anticipate a market crash, but I must stress that it is just speculation. When all of this is over, many people will regret not buying now because a market fall is always a chance to purchase. However, this is my most genuine opinion.

I like these videos where the channel doesn't simp for the Democrats. Actually focusing on the class struggle is pog

Trader Joe's informed me by snail mail that on December 31, 2020 I'd lost my health care. The letter was dated December 21 and arrived during the holidays. As 52 year old with a chronic illness and no insurance I missed some work, one day sitting 12 hours in the ER with no food. I had told the Captain, Reggie Jones, while sobbing of my struggles. When it was time for evaluations he denied my raise because of missed days without a doctor's excuse, keeping me at $14.35/hour after 4 years with the company. I was nowhere near what new hires made and still without healthcare, so I left.

Wondering when they get to the bargaining process

Now I know why they sneaked and closed the NYC TJ wine shoppe.. They are poseurs… Feel bad for the workers…

Did you know TJ loosing a lot of Branding in the Coffee selection? Wondering if TJ treat their vendor right ?

I’ve stopped shopping at TJ because of their poor treatment of employees.

You lost your insurance because you didn’t work the hours needed, they didn’t take it away from you.

ALDI ... its just a corporation, ireland here

A great demonstration that even seemingly left-leaning businesses with hippie aesthetics can be anti-labor. See what happened recently with No Evil Foods too.

That’s a win for the workers

people need to Stop buying their products?

Wait why would workers at Trader Joe want a union? Someone please clue me in to that. I can't imagine trying to get a union at BK, MACD, WENDYS etc...

How many burst out crying when Marilina burst out crying? I have a husband I adore and can't imagine how much pressure and pain she is under.

They really haven’t even been keeping up with environmentally friendly packaging and fighting appropriation in their food and especially their labeling. It’s a shame to hear this, I hadn’t heard anything bad about them as employers until this.

Worked at TJs for over 15 years, can confirm. They are just as heartless as Amazon or Walmart, but since Trader Joe's is private, they don't have to disclose much. The union-busting these crew members experienced is NOT isolated, and Trader Joe's management illegally harasses and union-busts anywhere they can. But custies won't REALLY care about this until they're forced to. Customers sympathize with these kinds of stories, then go right back to shopping and just skip the line of the person who told them the truth. So crew members will be forced to make the public aware of these crimes and transgressions, and win the unwilling public to their side. We'd better get started

I felt this way too during the pandemic. It was already a stressful environment. I quit during the pandemic after working there for almost 4 years. The company does NOT give a shit about crew.

I can’t stand shopping there. It’s a very unpleasant environment with a very poor selection

Even pain and suffering of an illness is a business in the usa.

Can i just say how proud i am of Shannon for sticking around w a corporation w such a sick corporate identity. No shame at all on all the other fighters, i think i woulda quit, too. But i love it that not only did Shannon stock around to continue receiving the roghts she so bravely fought for, but i bet it REEEEAAAALLLLYYYY sticks in the craw of her bosses that, now, especially since she has the history with them and everyone's STILL talking about it a year later, she practically cannot get fired! Lmfao, and to top it off, the fact that bc of these guys, and shannon, who refuses to leave, even MORE stores are unionizing, just rubs salt in the wounds! That is to say, the bosses who screwed these guys who HAVENT been fired by corporate for ruthlessly doing what corp told them, even so far as to not inform someone who was once one of them stepping down to care of her husband would result in amking it harder w no insurance... thise who werent fired by corporate... i bet they fired all of them, though.

Hang in there folks .... I know how hard it is...

Comment for the algorithm.

I get Trader Joes circulars in the mail and I see the price to quantity ratio and I say wow that's slot of money for crumbs and scraps!?

No audio?

Yoooooooooooooo!

How can you take pay away from employees after giving them a raise? JFC

Funny how NOWHERE in this do they actually tell you what they were making for wages at Trader Joes, or compare it to other chains. Would be nice to know.

ladiladilolo hwaers this

Yah, shitty company.

So sad

They are counting on workers being idiots and spineless which most are. I have people who want to be apart of a union at work but don’t have the spine to help me out.

The Hazard pay was not a guaranteed raise, it was an incentive to keep folks working through a difficult time. That's not a wage cut as is being framed. Missing context here but I'd expect nothing less from a union front. Some of the concerns are legit, but not all.

I’m very disappointed in Trader Joe’s union busting behavior. I shop there quite often and had no idea of these practices. I always thought they were a fair employer.

I think that's pretty common knowledge that when you quit your job you lose your health insurance...

This isn't Europe where the government guarantees people a job without providing one. Unions will crush trader Joe's business model by raising prices for shoppers. Trader Joe's crew members where I live are happy and communicate that to me. If you don't like trader Joe's leave, the world doesn't owe you anything.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

And that will be the only store🤣

Isn't Traders owned by Bezos?

I ♡ UNIONS !!! ♡☆♡

that's capitalism for you

Union is like a corporation. When it is too big, it is very difficult to stop. They become the law and order of the nation, they will eat the little ones.

4:23 This guy has the voice of a girl. f I wasn't looking at the screen, I would believe that is a woman talking. Is he not talking with the right tone? I I suspect he might be part of the LGBT community.
