Management found out about organizing before we filed for an election

I won’t name the company, but I’ll say their outgoing CEO has been in the news quite a bit lying his billionaire mouth off to the Senate about union busting.

I was on the organizing committee and literally two days before we were going to file I was “separated”. Since we hadn’t filed yet, I wasnt protected.

I’m waiting for my final pay as well as a my 401k contributions to show up in snail mail while I figure out what I’m going to do.

In the meantime, I’m struggling bad. I got bills that need to be paid and food that needs to be bought. I take care of a family member who is in disability and cannot work.

Posting on Lemmy is my last resort, I’ve had no luck on mutual aid groups on Reddit or elsewhere. I can pay it back or forward when my check arrives.

Anything helps. Venmo is @crass-bolton Cashapp is $crassbolton PayPal is [email protected]

    sounds like you have a good case for a NLRB charge for retaliation here. while it won’t help you immediately, you should be getting a settlement in the future when the NLRB rules in your favor

      Unfortunately I was told that because we hadn’t yet filed for an election and because I’m in an at cause state I’m pretty much fucked.
