In reply to the discussion: Union formed [View all]BigmanPigman
(55,137 posts)55. Good for you!
I mentioned forming a union when I was working at Macy's in the early 90s and was called into the office of management and told not to do this, even though it was on my break time. I vowed to get a job that had a union after Macy's went into Chapter 11 and I happily changed careers. I became a teacher and was the union rep at my site. I was harassed by every single principal during my career but the union supported me in every way possible. I was coughing up blood due to the black mold in the ceiling of my classroom and the union got real inspectors out and the whole building had to be demolished. The school district had previously told me to keep the door closed and use Lysol (for black mold). The union saved me.

I buy Troubadour bread at Sendiks and had no idea they were owned by Collectivo.
