stop the vote to unionize. At one point I had people shadowing me at the job making sure I did not talk about Unions on "company" time.. Uff... Anything to get me fired... All excellent work performance reviews then when talk of unionizing, bam.. totally unsatisfactory review. No raise. Change shifts at a moments notice. Hours cut, then asked to work overtime for no overtime pay.. Refuse? get fired..
Needless to say the vote passed and we unionized.
I was proud I had a very small part in this big action...
