    Guest service hanging style quarantine returns

    Time to wipe away the tears, put on your adult underwear and do the job you've been told to do. Don't like the job? Quit.

    Corporate $15

    Working "through" the pandemic? Then when would they pay the bonus? The pandemic is STILL going on and there is not an end in sight yet.

    Corona strike??

    Unions aren't the solutions to all you woes, and that is coming from a union steward. My BUEs think that we are there to make their problems go away, or make disciplinary actions go away. We are there to police the contract and bring new members in, because we are only as strong as our...

    Corona strike??

    Even if you are unionized, participating in a "sick-out" is an easy way to get fired. When a large percentage of your work force all call in on ONE day, it's pretty obvious. My advice: don't do it. Remember how hard it is to get through on unemployment lines. Then again, this could be...

    Corona strike??

    Target employees can't strike - you have no union. You can walk out, or not come to work, and be fired.

    COVID-19 During emergency, suspend the price-match policy, and other suggestions

    Federal government agencies are suspending things - their employee's rights. Very aggravating.

    Is it possible to win an age discrimanation suit ?

    You'll have to have solid evidence of the alleged discrimination. Saying "they cut my hours because of my age" is anecdotal. You'll need a lot more than that.

    charging blocks

    Ah, but my cellphone doesn't have the 160GB capacity my iPod Classic has, with 18000 songs on it and counting. I will cry the day the battery finally dies in that thing. As for external packs, Anker is what many consider the gold standard. Most long distance hikers I've seen/talked to (like...

    COVID-19 Any other stores being cleaned out of cleaning products?

    I'm confused. Why would they be "more concerned" because they are Chinese? They aren't in China, and "Chinese" are no more likely to contract this in the US then any other ethnic group.

    Multiple ETLs?

    I worked in an AAA volume store - we had 4 ETL-HL and we could hardly keep up.

    Military Veteran Advice Please

    As retired military, I would not consider anybody still serving in the Guard/Reserve a "veteran." A "veteran" is somebody who HAS served. A person still doing guard/reserve time is still in the military, thus not truly a "veteran." However, there are legal ramifications if you are hired but...

    Dental Plan

    You're never too old for orthodontics. Many of the "older" generation - 60s and 70s - are now going for ortho work.

    Hotline or through HR? Filing complaint against an ETL

    That last comment would constitute picking on a protected class, so is different. The person was harassing somebody clearly because they were a woman.

    Hotline or through HR? Filing complaint against an ETL

    And you can prove this person ONLY discriminates against that demographic? The protected classes are: race, color, national origin, religion, age, sex (gender), sexual orientation, physical or mental disability, and reprisal. So yes, "white men" can be discriminated against - but for this to...

    Hotline or through HR? Filing complaint against an ETL

    Then redress was not officially due to "hostile work environment." Per the US Department of Labor, "In United States labor law, a hostile work environment exists when one's behavior within a workplace creates an environment that is difficult or uncomfortable for another person to work in, due...

    Hotline or through HR? Filing complaint against an ETL

    From a labor rep standpoint: Nobody will care if the person is an ass. If they get the job done, so be it. How they make it happen is a personal style. I personally will not yell or berate somebody in public, but it is not illegal to do so. You may feel it creates a hostile work...
