I Don't Understand....

..why the hiring process is so hard for my employer. We need a deli
worker for the deli and they don't have to be experince either. We can
train who ever shows up. But what they did was wrong.

This young lady came in about 2 months ago looking for a job. We told
her to apply for the deli, and she was willing to give it a try. So,
when we tried to call her, the number went straight to voice mail and we
left a message. When black turned to blue we called her back about a
week agao and some one picked up the phone. Told her to come in, the
deli manager spoke with her. The store manager went to the owner and the
owner said that he doesn't want some one from the neighborhood to work
in the store. He also said this about relatives working together. But we
have a mother & daughter working, aunt and nephew working and 2 sisters
working here.

So what they did was this. They are trying to fire this guy that stock
the shelves in one of the isles, but since he is in The Union, its hard.
So they place him in the deli and told The Deli manager to ride his ass.
If he doesn't do what you tell him to do...3 write ups is grounds for
termination. That's how they roll. But the thing is, the guy has
experince working in a deli and he is a little rough around the edges
for now, but after 2 days he is up to par.

The 2 days ago, 3 young ladies came in looking for a job, 18 and 19
years old. Yesterday, the 18 yera old one was hired as a cashier and she
lives 2 blocks away. I think its fucked up, but what can I do.

Another thing is this. The Union was suppose to give us a raise in
September, but since the contarct is finalized, no raise yet. But these
assholes take out their union dues like clockwork every week. You better
believe I sent an email off to them asking what's the deal is. I never
did like Unions, it seems like they are on Management's side all the
time.
