How is this legal?
I work for a massive massive corp and we watch anti union videos (it's required) I think once a year in our online courses.
Almost everywhere I've ever worked has forced me to sit through anti union videos, but the place I'm currently at had by far the longest, most forceful and blatantly filled with fabrication video by far. It's not at all surprising to say that it's BY FAR the worst job I've ever had in my life. Don't work for Big Lots if you can find ANYTHING else guys, it's not worth the pain.
Went through the same thing with Ross. Absolute shit show of a company and they treat their workers like trash. Of course we had to sit through a blatant anti union video the first day.
Sorry you had to go through that. I'm pretty sure Walmart is just as bad, with Target and any similar store trailing close behind.
I highly doubt it. I've worked many retail jobs including several other stores, none came even in the same ballpark as being as bad as Big Lots.
People shoukd go into a video screening like that and all collectively (get it?) bring eggs and toss them when that anti union video starts
That's the best part! It's not!
But since nobody actually enforces the laws that make this illegal, everybody fucking does it. I can't think of a single job I've ever worked that didn't have anti-union posters except for the one job I've had that was unionized.
Wait how is passive illegal? I thought the intimidation had to be active
It depends on the state. For a majority of states like California and Minnesota? Illegal. Texas? They can force you to go to anti-union meetings and more and it's legal.
