"Workers Unions" are just that. Workers United to have one HUGE voice. When management is picking on someone to get rid of them, the worker just has to file a formal grievance with their Union representative, who is at your beckon call, and will show up with your Union attorney to investigate, and your club managers have to provide legitimate proof as to why you were coached or reprimanded/cut hours...etc...etc....And for like $5 a paycheck? We spend more than that on scratch Lotto Tickets hoping to hit it big instead of investing it on job insurance. Just like your car insurance, you do not plan on crashing any day, but you have that reassurance that if you were to, you know that help will be on the way. The changing of our raises from monetary levels to percentages, and everyone gets a trophy mentality, would not have happened without "OUR UNIFIED" permission. And if we do not like something unanimously we can all "STAND UP" and protest and we will be backed by our tens of thousands Brothers and Sisters in arms across this Great Nation. The company will humbly come to the negotiations table to make sure we do not walk out so they do not lose "MILLIONS" of dollars per region daily. Our hard work, our blood, sweat, and tears makes this company "BILLIONS" of dollars on a yearly basis. You would think that they could staff it properly, train the newbies properly, which in turn can become better managers in the long run. Instead of the sink or swim mentality. They have proven they do not care to, so, that is where we "ALL" have the constitutional right to "UNITE" and "STAND UP" and demand respect for the worker. It is up to us to rally our Co-Workers. The Managers will not benefit from Unionizing. So keep it between you and your co-workers. Have meetings with your Local Union Representatives at their offices. Walmart and Sam's Club fear a Unionized workforce. Only because then they would "HAVE TO" give us the respect and pay our hard work deserves. Remember the long nights, the short days off, getting called in, filling in other departments to save the day for your Team, giving up your weekends to help another associate out, all your sacrifices for all your many years working at the job you loved........only to be eliminated by self check out, a Change Machine, a Membership Kiosk, a Scan and Go app, click and pull, and Club Pick Up. That all still might happen......but at least we can say we fought for our livelihood, we fought for what we loved and that is all of our Brothers and Sisters out there with families, college tuitions, mortgages, car payments, our customers and members who deserve a smiling face at the register, at the Membership desk, at the café serving them quality food, who understand just by a look and body language that they have had a long day and would enjoy a quick joke or smile, maybe even a hug from a familiar face. It is time us workers finally join hands and stand up for what is "RIGHT". The ball is in our court. Call your Local Workers Union Representatives and get the ball rolling across this Great Nation. Let's give that hornets nest a good kicking. It's time for "JUSTICE".
