NEW ORLEANS—Multibillionaire Elon Musk won and workers lost as a three-judge panel of the Fifth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled the National Labor Relations Board’s structure is unconstitutional.
UFCW seems to be one of the worst unfortunately. My first job was a brief stint at a grocery store represented by them. This is when self checkouts were first introduced. Over half of the cashiers were laid off, and a couple had to relocate to stores that would’ve doubled their commute. Before that a cashier told me that when he started his job, there were only like 8 steps to journeyman pay, but during later negotiations it got doubled to 16 or something crazy like that.
I feel for you when it comes to the emotionality of it all. Myself and some of my comrades put our EVERYTHING into that struggle for close to 3 years, just for the department to dissolve just a couple months after the contract was ratified. I’m still kinda fucked up from how terrible and demoralizing it all was and I havent been at that job for nearly a year
