I sincerely hope that you guys are organizing a union as well. Although your strategy of pranking/scaring the managers and bosses probably work and are funny too, forming a union can do so much more in terms of salary, working conditions and worker participation in workplace policy making.
Anyways, thumbs up for keeping the bosses on their toes!
I would absolutely love to, but I live in Texas where they can fire you for any reason, or no reason at all.
And fire you they will, as soon as you show you’re not anti-union they’ll search for the smallest thing. Unionize, and know your Weingarten rights.
Absolutely, unfortunately I have kind of met my limits with this company and I'm ready to move on.
That's the best time to agitate your coworkers to do something, if you are ready to move on already, then you have nothing to lose. Also, even though it is an "at will" state, if you document things thoroughly and are fired for no reason or even a BS reason you can still sue. Remember, it is FEDERAL law the prohibits the firing of employees as a means to squash unionization talks. At will states just don't require the employer to document their stated reason for firing you, all you need to prove is that they fired you for something they don't normally fire others for and that they did so while aware that you were talking about unions.
(I did over simplify this in my explanation, but the gist is true.)
Want to form a union?
