Strike for $15.00 an hour, Sub shop fires everybody

[Katzndogz]

Actions have consequences. A sub shop in Chicago was the target of a recent protest of workers wanting $15.00 an hour. The shop fired everyone, three days before Christmas, en masse, everyone got the can.

That's the way to deal with these kinds of protests.

Chicago sandwich shop fires all its staff in an EMAIL just days before Christmas | Mail Online

A Chicago sandwich shop has fired all its employees over email just days before Christmas.
Staff at Snarf's Sub Shop in River North received the bad news on Sunday night in a group email notifying them that the drastic action was effective immediately.
The company blamed 'increased competition and losses' for the firings.
Director of operations Doug Besant said in the email the restaurant will likely close for a month as they remodel and reconcept the business into a burger joint.

The River North Snarf's shop was closed for four days, from December 5 until December 8, as employees went on striking for higher wages and better benefits.
They joined workers of fast-food chains like McDonald's, Subway, Potbelly and others in a broader strike orchestrated by the Worker's Organizing Committee of Chicago.

The business owner won obviously. He/she 'got rid' of a bunch of semi literate drop outs who demanded to be paid what the business owner did not think was in his businesses' best interest. It's simple.
The 'loss' his business will suffer will be written off for years and the owner will actually make money on his 'loss' tax-wise'.
Don't worry about the owner finding replacement employees. He'll put a sign in the window "Help Wanted" and get a thousand applications of which he will choose the 20 employees with the very best employment records. Win-win.
As an aside re employees. The very best employees like to work with other excellent employees. Makes the work easier when you don't have to work beside a whining/ stoned/drunk/illiterate/Liberal 'male who pees sitting down' 'Metro' all night.

If they weren't getting paid enough why not just quit and find a better job?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Owner won in that he got rid of workers who did not trust him to treat them fairly.

The workers won because they know the owner's values in full.

The shoppers won because they can now reward other vendors in the area.

You do realize you are talking about minimum wage employees don't you?

The owner fires everyone and has to spend a week hiring and training new employees. The fired employees spend a week looking for a new low paying job

Nobody wins

It certainly shows how low informaiton the employees are/were for demanding better pay and benefits from a business struggling with competition and in so, revenue. If nothing else, it shows how entirely stupid many low skill workers can be in as such, do not derserve higher wages for lower thinking.

They got what they deserved. And the business obviously didn't fire them all strickly on the basis of their protests. But an accumulation business related problems that are forcing a change in structure.

You have a hard time with reading. The owner is changing the business model, which in part makes this mass firing all the more about bad timing than the protests. I'd imagine that some of those will be recruited in the future should they wish to be. Not likely at the wage they want, however.

Obviously, if employees don't report for work, their job doesn't mean much to them. Companies that are subject to collective bargaining are called 'union shops' and no business is required to be a union shop. It is a choice the owner gets to make.

The people who are on the bottom rung of the pay scale are there for a reason. This certainly illustrates that salient point.

The owner has the right to use whatever business model he chooses. In the wake of the nationally destructive ACA, a lot of businesses are going to be doing this. The stupid will continue to be stupid and end up worse off.

How do you think keeping employees who refuse to report to work is a 'win' for an employer? RW, you have reached an all time low in your stupidity. Every place I have ever worked will fire you if you miss 3 days of work without a legitimate excuse such as illness and after day 2 you have to prove you have been ill. That is a standard HR policy.

If they weren't getting paid enough why not just quit and find a better job?

because there are NO JOBS in the leftrad heaven Chicago is.

News flash advisory: in a bad economy it would be advisable not too go on strike.

News flash in a bad economy it would be advised not too go on strike.

I'm sure the company had an HR policy pertaining to missing excessive work days. Most places do. I'm also sure they got the company 'handbook' which spelled out the policy. KUDOS to the employer for even handedly enforcing his policies.
