Hows about not lying about talking about unions?

More importantly, the VAST majority of people effected by this are not people that unions can help. In nearly every industry unions are in, supervisory and managerial employees are specifically excluded from unions because their job is to promote the interests of the company; and unions are for the interests of workers.

So nobody is talking about getting fired.

The law is very clear about how and where and when organization can occur. On the clock, on company property is prohibited. It’s possible everyone commenting here hasn’t clocked in today but also highly probable someone on the clock has seen it.

So what you going to do about it - us on the clock? It's PROHIBITED!!!!

Just the fact that a union is being discussed here during work hours could jeopardize any efforts.
Nonsense.
Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear Fear.

The NYC employees were part of the Union with the school. They’re “contract” employees through the school with Follett. Not the same.

NYC stores have union workers. Maybe we can join it?

You’re not going to get 30-50% of those employed by the company to agree/vote to start one. Best of luck though.

And if you try to do anything on the clock or on anything considered company ground, it’s not legal.

A union is badly needed here, but is very hard to obtain in retail. It’s risky. Most of the time people get fired immediately if they suspect you’re trying, but if it’s something you really wanted to do just google how to start a union in retail. You need some interest from some co workers around you that you trust. Look at similar situations with Starbucks and Amazon. It’s a process, but would be great if it could be achieved. Would be protected when this company inevitably changes hands, which is proving to be quite soon. You need to be discreet though. Good luck.

For the people who are still here it might help them out.
Good luck.

Even if it’s late the costs to fight it and legal irritation to follett would be a joy to watch
