Keep in mind that large corporations are only raising wages because they are forced to, and in the absence of a union contract, they can and will roll back these wage increases at the first opportunity. The only way to secure these gains for the long term is to have them written into a contract.

:iia:

Everyone looks at wages, and those kind of raises kick rear end, but one of the best parts of a contract is the QoL guarantees. IE: No fuckhead, you can’t change my schedule once the schedule has been posted. IE: You can’t call me in on my day off for less than time and a half, and if you do call me in, you cant just send me home whenever you want. gently caress you, I’m here on my day off, pay me.

My employer (NYC) is asking for input from city workers about how to improve city governance. The top 8 are all telework, #9 is a raise.

Ya, my job is decidedly not teleworkable, but I’d be right there in 1-8 if it were. All our support staff went to telework, and poo poo actually gets done FASTER now.

Our boss is cool with wfh, but it's not at all a formal right so it's definitely something we should work on getting recognized in case we get a lovely boss sometime down the line.

you op absolutely know all this but i will write here what helped me anyway:

- ask softball questions, like "why am i being fired?" - we dont need you "so i can leave?" - no you should work the day out || if you just ask, they will self-incriminate
- immediately write down what happened as soon as you can (bathroom or whatever), preferably quote for quote. put a date on it.
- call your union, they will have your back
