these jobs were well paying for the work, $16-17 an hour for putting bags of chips into boxes, dropping bread by hand into slicers to make into chips. The orders slowed and at the same time some of the workers felt they needed more money and less hours and no responsibility for coming in late or not coming in at all so they kept bulling people to start a union. They ruined it for everyone there. Frito did everything they could do to make them happy, but people today have the entitlement mentality. So now they down sized, we lost our jobs and the jerks who started trouble can all go work for MacDonald's...I got a new job, will miss it there.
It seems a lot of Pepsi is going that way -
8 weeks pay, 3 months health insurance and job placement
What kinds of jobs were they, or was it a general layoff where no particular area was emphasized?
Did they give you any warning, or severance? What did the company (Pepsi?) say as to why you were being let go?
