I am very annoyed

unpaid???

Oof, that's messed up that they didn't tell you.

analoren: yes most of my days off are unpaid. I have a non union job.

booo. I'm sorry :c

I've tried talking my coworkers into forming a union before but can't even get that ball rolling. They're all like "I can't afford union dues"

bruh....

like you're gonna unionize and not immediately negotiate for better pay so everyone can afford union dues???

RIGHT

i have heard from professional union organizers that a good response to most of the things people say is "if that was true, nobody would ever agree to form a union"

exactly

Like part of forming and a union is deciding on the due structure. And you can completely have it, based on how many hours you work versus a flat rate.
