Thread regarding GlobalFoundries layoffs

We need raises that keep up with inflation. HR at global is notorious for coming to this website and downvoting union posts. Here are some facts

(From nlrb.gov)

Examples of employer conduct that violates the law:

  • Threatening employees with loss of jobs or benefits if they join or vote for a union or engage in protected concerted activity.
  • Threatening to close the plant if employees select a union to represent them.
  • Questioning employees about their union sympathies or activities in circumstances that tend to interfere with, restrain or coerce employees in the exercise of their rights under the Act.

Promising benefits to employees to discourage their union support.
Transferring, laying off, terminating, assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise punishing employees because they engaged in union or protected concerted activity.

  • Transferring, laying off, terminating, assigning employees more difficult work tasks, or otherwise punishing employees because they filed unfair labor practice charges or participated in an investigation conducted by NLRB.

Global is not making technicians learn 2 and 3 more modules to help with cost savings. They are doing it to prevent you from forming a union and getting what you deserve. We need to organize across all shifts and form a union at this company. We honestly should have done this before the company went public.

So if you are a technician, engineer, supporting employee or manager of global let me know your thoughts below and i will personally get the ball rolling on this.

OP. Like all the others that wanted to organize a union. Burn. Fizzle. Poof. Crickets.
Too many people are su-kered into the narrative put out by the union busters that are out here trolling.
Fact is American workers have no rights anymore because we just roll over and let it happen and then vote against our best interests. CEOs will just continue to widen that wage gap with employees. They are all consumed with greed, wealth and making more money than the last quarter, year, etc. We are expendable. We are a number. As long as they get theirs, the rest of us continue to be and get screwed. Trickle down economics only works for the top dog. Sc--w Reagan and the rest of the money miser Republicans. Research the wage gaps since 1980s. Harvard Business Review. NPI. They have the data to show it. America is the land of sc--w you, I got mine mentality.
Now, go bend over for your corporate overlords like a good employee.

The 2 detrimental things that have caused GF demise:

  1. HRBP (The most useless department at GF)
  1. Hiring as consultants and then employees, McKinsey

No one in any field; legal, finance, business and of course engineering comes to GF as their first choice. Absolutely no one.

GF HR is a bunch of retreads who can't find jobs at a company that has an actual HR organization which is effective. In most cases we seem to have gotten the worst HR partners in the industry. The HR team at GF is led by a puppet lady who doesn't think but just does what TC tells her, this trickles down below her. Currently GF doesn't need HR because they do nothing useful, get rid of them all and start over with a much smaller org, maybe outsource the entire org to a low cost geo.

@3oro a lot of every day Americans have been convinced through different media that unions are bad. You don't have to be a paid consultant to be anti-union. You might only think anti-union propaganda only gets spread in concentration when people threaten to unionize, but it's all over and ingrained in a lot of conservative-leaning people's heads

UNIONIZE NOW!
Every single time "Union" gets mentioned on this board, the POS paid-off Union Busters are right here hook, line, and sinker down voting and employing their rhetoric and union busting tactics. Research it through this board just like they do. Fight fire with fire people.
This is what happens when you defend your rights and livelihood, people. You have to fight for yourself. Fight for your job. Fight for your country. If not, stand by and do nothing and watch the systematic dismantling of FAB8, your job, your raises, your sanity, your entire livelihood is going offshore to CHEAPER labor because we continue to let them F@#$ us over.
The ones with a backbone are ready to tango. I am ready. Judging from this board alone -We are ready. We are standing by. Lawyers are ready too. Ready for battle with the Union Busting overlords. Teams of pro bono lawyers are even readily available to assemble and sink their teeth into this in order to bring national and worldwide attention to their job of defeating the overlords that are holding us good people down and feeding us daily bullsh-t when we know damn well their actions speak much louder that words. They must really think we are all that stupid or something and don't read or research anything.
So, go right ahead. Make my day. Bunch of corrupted, frothing, liars with nothing better to do than sc--w over us American workers. GF deserves what they get and so much more.
UNIONIZE. NOW.

It's not everyone in HR, either. I'm in these meetings, they have updates about this site. They/we plan on how to stamp out any union talk. It's disgusting. We can't do anything because our uppers treat us just the same. GF should unionize and strike. They lay people off based on income and age. They refuse to backfill in everg department. Go talk to your friends in any department in Malta. Every damn team is short staffed. ALL OF THEM.

This is by design, we leave reqs open and never attempt to fill them. We're all over worked and underpaid. There needs to be real change here.

Look into Mckinsey's past. They're the major player for the benzo epidemic that started in the 80s. They will do whatever and hurt whoever to make money.

I'm absolutely sick to death of this company.

The mighty HR and McKinsey beasts have awoken and are biting here- I would take great pleasure and great delight to eat you for dinner. You people have taken away too much from the dedicated and ethical workers that do still exist here. Not to mention the constant threat of layoffs or offshoring happening. It's disgusting.
LONG. OVERDUE. What are you waiting for? Let's go. Roll that ball. I'm game. Fight for your rights people. Stop bending over and quietly accepting getting screwed over. Fight back with a union.

Ignore the chatter. Union Busting is real here. Research it. It's very interesting the tactics that are employed in Union Busting, and the just short of corrupted lengths an employer will go to keep this from happening. Last time someone wanted to organize I said I would join, but that fizzled out real fast as per usual. I've been wanting to unionize. We are here. We are ready. I even went as far as saying this point blank in the Glint survey that HF needs to unionize. There are too many well connected and overpaid "consultants" (The McKinsey plants at GF I'm talking to you), that this company would rather employ and waste money on than use it for their own employees. The BS they feed us every time someone leaves in our area saying they can't backfill, but then Bangalore is expanding in the very area I work. Stunning. That's where the backfill is going to instead of employing more people in our area locally or from somewhere else in the USA. Instead what they do is offshore our work to BANGALORE because this company is too damn CHEAP to backfill positions with actual locals or people that live here in this country.
I only foresee the following at GF Fab8:
more management by layoffs, then there won't be enough people to keep employed in FAB8, they'll say costs are too high to operate anymore, close or sell FAB8, and systematically move the work to Bangalore just like they are doing now.
Actions speak louder than words.

To the HR troll downvoting this timely link:
Take your lazy a-s off this site and go do what you are supposed to be doing. Keep the Human Resources of this company, and by that I mean the hardworking ranks of talented engineers and technicians who generate revenue for this company , not that lazy incompetent rejects at c suite, happy and satisfied with their pay and work environment

@jee Annual merit increases at GF are a joke, have been canceled before (Dresden had none this year) and rarely better than inflation.

I was thinking about applying to a position at GF Fab 8. Does the company not have annual merit increases?
