L.A.’s lowest-paid call time-out by STEVEN MIKULAN, LA Weekly
The Teamsters and UFCW are locked in a bitter organizing campaign with 99 Cents Only-- the Teamsters seek to unionize the company's warehouse workers, while the UFCW, whose Southern California members lost a bruising, four-and-a-half-month supermarket lockout last year, hopes to organize the chain's store staff. The UFCW claims that the average wage at 99 Cent Only stores is $6.80 an hour without health benefits and that workers are forced to work overtime without pay. (A company spokesman denied the allegations.)
"Only Wal-Mart is more anti-union than this company," Sandoval said. "[Management is] targeting our supporters. In one day 25 employees were terminated in the Commerce warehouse."------------------------------------------- posted 11:40 AM :: reference link ::
