Back pay, interest. And a whopping fine.
Republicans are blocking the bill that would allow the NLRB to issue fines for ULPs.
And of course they are...
Not to mention, re-hiring is kinda bullshit. Who's going to want to feel comfortable working at an employer that fucked them over once already?
We need more unions.
I wish the programming industry would unionize, but it's just not something I see happening any time soon if ever.
Tech people love to think they don't need unions. Unfortunately.
IT in general is the biggest industry that has risen to its level of prominence since the heyday of unions. We’ve all been conditioned to be in conflict/competition with our fellow IT workers and also that we’re easily replaceable. Couple that with it being a fairly safe in comparison to mining or factory work and you have the recipe for not unionizing. Ironically only the medical industry would bring the country to a halt with a strike faster than if every support tech, analyst, designer, and engineer walked off the job tomorrow
I understand if Medical Industry just strikes could grind the country to a halt. But for a statement with IT not causing huge issue on day one if everyone in IT industry just strike. Good chance it will affect not just the Medical but also everything else. I think we're underestimating how integrated IT is in our society. Some of those 99.9% uptime servers are basically just 50/50 a day and can breakdown suddenly for little to no reason at all and someone not in the helm or on call to fix those could become a nightmare situation.
Not all of them, I'd love to have a union but it's just not likely to happen.
Starbucks is evil coffee for evil people
Not even good evil coffee!!!
If you're going to have evil coffee, it should at least be good
The e person in the article is extra evil for getting their job back!
Props to her and all the people fighting for better things. Unions have made some great gains last year.
What about punitive payments to cover mental health, legal and financial costs related to the firing?
Why couldn't Starbucks just ignore the just ignore the judge like they ignored the law?
Video says they may appeal, which is the next best thing
Then they send in Judge Dredd because he is the law
This is the type of person I admire.
Hope she sticks it to them and the rest of her colleagues come to her defence.
Yeah, she's a cool cookie
By coincidence, I'm wearing a tshirt supporting Starbucks unionization from last night. It's the rainbow one.
shit coffee suffocating small coffee shops doing infinitely better work
Sounds like a case where they'll shut down the entire location and move across the street.
