Agreed. Lets just say if a manager did that to me i would say look you either address the issue or i will come burn down your house lol

I wish you luck! Hopefully your efforts inspire people at places like Lowes to start a union too :)

Remember who is telling you how hard they are working.

“Demanded”?! “Yelling at me”?! I didn’t hear her yell.

Right on!!!!!!!!. She should also contact local news and news paper. Name names. slap those heartless bastards so hard they wont know what hit them!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stand your grounds, this is so wrong on every level, people are humans, not slaves. You reap what you sow

Why? You can make a lot more money if you work your way up the corporate ladder than you would with an union. Corporate executives aren’t allowed to join an union but they make a lot more than the union workers. Also, being able to choose to not show up to work like you agreed to in your contract, like the MLB players union did, is ridiculous. If you don’t like your pay of benefits, then don’t accept the job in the first place. I made sure I was pleased with my pay and benefits before accepting my job and got raises every year.

@@johnmartin4641 Well that's a deceptive statement, isn't it. It's completely relative to the company you work for and the job you perform within that company, whether you'd make more in any position vs another. And you're assuming that in every case the person is looking to maximize income, whatever the cost...Or that in every case the person would want to be working in a corporate job. You're also ignoring almost 90 years of US history when higher marginal tax rates on extreme wealth/large corporations and unions began what historians call "The Golden Era" of US economics (which pulled us out of the Great Depression....caused by the previous Gilded Age...where coincidentally we had an even smaller wealth gap than we do in 2022), leading to the largest, strongest middle class of any developed nation to date. You also neglect to include that a single rise up the corporate ladder only increases a single paycheck where as unions, directly for their members, but *also* for others in the same industry or even geographic area, increase wages/work standards for everyone. That's why we no longer have child labor laws...That's why we have a 40hr work week... That's why we have workplace safety laws... That's why we have Overtime... etc..etc... Corporations over the past 100 years didn't do that out of kindness... Unions fought for it, and fought for it to be law then, so that we could enjoy it today. America moved out of the wild west 150 years ago. Maybe it's time you drop the wild west mentality.

@@GreyCrowe middle class? Do you want everyone to live a mediocre life? I’d rather have the possibility to do really well as opposed to having to settle for mediocrity. I succeeded with an union, so everyone else can do the same and take personal responsibility for their own lives. And if you’re not looking to maximize income, whatever the cost, then you’re lazy and you deserve whatever bad situation you are in because you did it to yourself with your own stupid choices.

Bullshit. It was taken away by consumers not giving a shit about union labor.

*Only* corporations are people, my friend.

Corporations AND fetuses are people in this country, my friend. If you're neither, you're less than nothing. It's sad and it's bullshit, but that's how this system rolls.

They're never happy

They fired her

Don't Starbucks will fall. Companies like this don't stay in business for long.

Amen.

I know right? I honestly feel bad for Laila. I just wish people would stop being propagandized by corp media into thinking that unions are bad

​@@kevinkarenkljyan9464Or maybe you all should realize what a job is. I feel for the kid but that entire thing was unprofessional. I'd never in my life tell a boss how emotional I was feeling or that I wanted to call my parent. These people are not your friend. They're your employer.

You're completely replaceable in a job market that will always have way more applicants than openings for any decent job. Remember that.

Same but I don't work for Starbucks. This is a common problem and places like these will treat you like this. It's best to get out.

@@brendaechols5929 Nope, that's exactly what they want. They WANT us to quit so that we don't get a say in how these things can be changed, we're not friggin quitting this time and Starbucks is going to have to finally deal with us face to face.

The supreme Court recently just sided with Starbucks

I’m sorry you went through that.

💯

Yes but the other something that needs to be done is for customers to boycott the store and they need to stop saying it hurts the workers because the truth is that when people stop buying a product it hurts the owners and the investors and it sends them a message loud and clear . I don't go to Starbucks I never liked their gimmicky coffee . But customers who claim to love the place and want to do something need to either picket outside of the stores and do it with a license first so they don't get arrested and or stop going there stop buying their products and stop giving them your money... or at least let them know when you took it outside that you have stopped buying their products and will not return until they treat their workers better.

PLEASE BE CAREFUL and look up the law regarding recording consent for your state first. Two-party consent states are California, Delaware, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Washington. For example, a person violating California's law faces a possible misdemeanor conviction, a one-year prison sentence, and a $2,500 fine. Do not put yourself in a situation where recording someone without consent can (and will most likely be by a disgruntled employer) get you in more trouble.

Wednesday good warning. I already knew I wasn’t in a 2-party state but thx for letting people know

Don’t EVER EVER compare this to Slavery, EVER again.

@@stephoso lol a nobody telling people what to do.

Elitism is killing union membership
