Hello,also safety check our boss's are saying that we are causing injuries because the freight on the back of trailer that they make us put up there falls on someone at the next terminal

Hello you work on a dock that is 1 inch deep in water and someone tells you you are getting a letter for not wearing seatbelt.

Hello you get letters from a clerk because you sent out an overage that the tm told you to send out..

you drive to work in a blizzard then you get there and they ask you if you want to go home..

layed off employees and they force you 2 hours overtime

you make goal 3 quarters in a row and you get a 85% cut in your bonus from a guy who just got a $50,000 raise and sold a million in stock.

you load 80 bills a day and sup says you have a 20 minute gap.

you walk into the same place to work for the last 15 or 20 years and the only people that say hi are union.

they tell you that you are lazy because you will not get off the forklift to pick up a piece of wood when the guy telling that is standing next to the piece of wood..
