As if Corporate America doesn't make it hard enough for workers to unionize with their threats and firings of union activists, Menards has decided that that isn't enough--it's threatening workers' bosses, store managers, with a 60% pay cut if any segment of their staff votes to unionize while on the store managers' watch. While there seems to be some disagreement as to whether or not it's legal (same link), how many members of a store management's team can afford a cut in pay that large and would stand idly by while their stores associates tried to start a union?
One certainty, though, is the utter disdain Menards, and by extension, Corporate America, has for its workforce--frankly, if you don't have an executive title next to your name or sit on your ass in a boardroom it really doesn't give a fuck if you or your family live or die.
Peace,
