I was more commenting on the way he responds to posts.
It's like he's replying to something in his head rather than the other person.

Yeah that's how projection works 😛

He's projecting his own fears of being so deep in a hole he cannot escape, and thus resorts to suicide. Lashing out at it is natural. It usually looks like insane babble.

Suicidal after 5 months without a day off? Pfft...fucking nancies.

I get that the job must be mind-numbing boring...but fuck me. I worked 7-12's for over a year without a day off...and commuted ~100miles each way into the SF Bay area every day...adding ( on average) at least 4 hours to my daily grind. Suicide never crossed my mind.

Lies! I’m 100% certain they are hiding in the sewers of NYC and LA just waiting to wreak havoc on the US. There are many posts on the internets backing up this claim, so it must be true!

Who hates and/or crushes unions?
Hint: It isn't Democrats. But you already know that, you worthless, dishonest c*nt.

His problem is he's so fucking stupid with such strong projection, he believes himself the smartest person in the room despite him failing his home-schooling.

Not really. He is just one very symptomatic cockroach conservative. Which happens to be most of them. So like tens of millions of people are like him.

That doesn't mean he doesn't have psychological issues and/or mental defects.

Only that there are tens of millions of others sharing those issues, and they are unfortunately far from unique. I blame Reagan for closing the asylums where these clowns belong.

Plus you have all the "progressive businesses" like Target that after being raided, destroyed, and looted by BLM protests - they gladly donated a million dollars to BLM the next day because it keeps the peasants fighting amongst the peasants - all the while the elites continue to laugh at you.

Same goes for Amazon. They will gladly do virtue signaling online with front-page banners of Black Lives Matter - but when it comes to a vote for a union in Alabama at their plant they will spend BILLIONS and throw money at it left and right to immediately crush it like an ant. You know, Alabama - a place with a 27% black population - a ton of which disproportionately work in Amazon warehouses?

Would be nice to get a full story though, you're telling me that unionized Fritolay employees are

(1) Working 5 months straight - no days off... meaning, no weekends, no holidays, or paid time off?
(2) Working overtime all the time.


So just simple estimation of working 7 days - and lets say they are working 10 hour days for overtime equals 70 hour+ weeks of working? And not getting overtime for it?

Only one side has spoken thus far, and it's likely an initial exaggerated claim - especially since.... they are unionized lol. I'm pretty sure Rule#1 for unionization is "Overtime must be paid" lol.

1) Do you have a comprehension problem?
2) You must have a comprehension problem.

Thanks for showing us just how stupid you really are: Nowhere did was it said they where not being paid overtime. What was said is they are being forced to work overtime and work 7 days a week without any days off. A union contract doesn't have to state overtime (hours worked over 40 hours per week) has to be paid, as it's federal law. No Union contract can take away your legal rights under the law. There is no laws in the United states that requires time off. (this actually needs to change)

Most Unions are only as strong as it's members. Almost all union contracts (collective bargaining agreement) have clauses for forced overtime, not all have limitations in those clauses. Also, Union contracts are to protect the worker and give them legal avenues that idiots like you don't have to protect their jobs, or avenues they can pursue mistreatment, or violations of the contract. It doesn't necessarily mean companies won't violate the terms in the contract, specially since contract violations don't generally carry and criminal penalties unless those violations break state/federal laws. If there is nothing in the contract to protect them from such mistreatment, their only recourse is to negotiate changes in a new contract. Contracts are also different from state to state because of state laws. Of course, we are talking about a Republican state, and we know that Republican's are not for the working man or unions.

IF only filling out an application guarantees you a new job, or guarantees you a salary comparable to the one you currently have to meet your obligations. God you are a fucking idiot.

Have any complaints been filed with State or Federal Labor agencies?
Click to expand...
They first have to violate labor laws to have a complaint. Violation of a union contract is not a violation of labor laws. Forced overtime, forced 7 day work weeks is not a labor law violation as there are no laws in the Nation that prevent such actions.
 
BoomerD said:
Most state and federal laws...and union contracts only require you to have 8 hours off between shifts...
Click to expand...
This is mostly false. There are no laws that require 8 hours off between shifts, not at the federal level and not at any state level. It's a common misconception. Union contracts generally have such language, but all it will do is allow the employee to refuse to come in sooner than 8 hours between each shift if the employee knows the contract well enough, and not lose their job. (if they don't know the contract, they don't know that the company is violating it). At most, all the company will receive is a monetary penalty for the contract violation, as union contract violations do not carry criminal penalties in most cases unless it's a violation of a state or federal laws, or is a safety violation at the state or federal level.
