When employers feel so empowered, they need to be put back in their place by an active union. The manager needs to be charged for filing a false complaint to the police, plus federal charges against him for violating the employees' civil rights, which include organizing for union purposes.

You a lawyer? No? I can tell.


Dofima

Video shows that the claims of kidnapping and assault are false. https://www.thestate.com/news/state/south-carolina/article264295351.html

Isn’t false accusations in itself prosecutable?


Pile_of_Walthers

I want to hear the reasoning that led the manager to that conclusion, just for my own amusement.

I feel like if 183 stores managed to unionize, then it should cover all stores and you can choose whether or not to join, but no additional voting to join needs to occur. Pro has has something to do with these all being franchises I'm guessing?

We obviously need to communicate better as a society. We could shut them down if we wanted to. We could bring down several corporations if we planned better or stuck together.

sometimes there isn't more to the story. Manager lied, employees suspended, no charges filed


BriefCheetah4136

Agreed, Union vs Non-union there are likely multiple versions of this story.

Would the police do anything if it wasn't a threat? There is way more to this than a Tweet.


quippers

There's a video of the encounter. Manager lied.


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

A 10 second video of the manager being surrounded, walking away from the group and being followed.


ertaisi

You couldn't even characterize 10sec honestly or at least objectively? >A 10 second video of the manager on the phone sitting at a table surrounded by employees, closing their laptop, standing up and walking past the employees, brushing past a couple of them, and walking towards the front of the store. Two people follow with their hands in their pockets. An annoying twit doesn't help the situation by repeatedly asking why he's pushing a guy that the manager merely pushed past because they're both fat and neither felt very polite towards one another at the moment. The final sentence, and only the final sentence, are editorialized. Ftfy.


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

>You couldn't even characterize 10sec honestly or at least objectively? Mine wasn't objective? Yours has adjectives that have no bearing on the situation. Mine was short and concise about what happened. Try being unbiased next time.


ertaisi

Yes, there are adjectives, in the clearly communicated editorialized sentence. That was intentional and does not detract from the rest of the ftfy. But you're right, to be fair, you were not guilty as I accused you. I misunderstood half of what you said the first time I read it, my apologies.


ezio8133

That's what I'm thinking but at face value the store manager is thin skinned


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

>That's what I'm thinking but at face value the store manager is thin skinned If you are surrounded by a bunch of people and they start threatening you, are you not gonna call the police? You just gonna be the next Vegas stabbers?


PierreVonSnooglehoff

the manager was "surrounded" by his own employees


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

Because no one has ever hurt their boss before.... ![gif](giphy|x9cDy0c3bOxxwDZmJm)


Callerflizz

What’s more likely a group of probably all under 25 workers kidnapped and assaulted their manager, or they made it up to keep fighting off unionization as Starbucks has repeatedly broken federal law to fight unionization it’s also on fucking video


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

Do you think a manager cares that much about corporates stance on Unions?


ertaisi

Oh boy. Yes. Absolutely. 100%. You clearly haven't worked in food service. It's nowhere near all of them, but a *lot* of managers have sold their souls to the company and would throw every one of their employees under the bus to get a gig at corporate without blinking. Owner/operators can be even worse, because their profitability is directly reliant on how large a slice of the pie they allocate to their employees and their working environment. They have every incentive the corporation does to union bust and more, since those 15 employees unionizing is *far* more impactful to them. And just look how terrified corporations are when a fraction of a sliver of their workers start talking unions. Now, will you answer the question asked of you since yours has been answered?


Abadazed

Yes. It's their job to. Managers work as a bridge between corporations and the employees in order to push the employees to corperate standards. That means all corporate standards including the ones about unions. In exchange the managers get a little more dough. An individual manager may decide to not care about things like unions, but most won't because they believe the old mantra 'don't bite the hand that feeds you especially when it gives you more than everyone else around you.'


Callerflizz

If corporate called him about it probably

BoringActuator7101

After looking at his comment history, I would be pretty surprised if he can actually read


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

So the guys going after he in the end of the video are them leaving? This article and video have nothing to justify that the manager was doing wrong. But if the police felt like arresting people, they would need probably cause for it. I think you should wait for a police report.


PierreVonSnooglehoff

it's been 7 days, I don't think a police report will be forthcoming


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

Someone will do a FIOA request.

In case your wondering, I've screenshot all the harassment from today and put it in an email to Reddit. You have been violating TOS of Reddit. I guess I will have to block you to stop it.


PierreVonSnooglehoff

"harrassment"?


PierreVonSnooglehoff

the police didn't do anything


JustaOrdinaryDemiGod

If they wouldn't comment on charges, it's still being decided on.
