Dollar General workers are trying to unionize
Dollar General with the highest number of store locations in America has a company philosophy of remaining union free but workers at a store in Connecticut are pushing to change that. Five workers at the store are currently eligible to vote in the union election scheduled for October 22nd to join the UFCW. The union has also filed an unfair labor practice charge with the NLRB over the firing of a 6th worker who would have been eligible claiming that he was terminated under false pretenses. The workers are pushing for reforms in the way of increased wages, better treatment from corporate, the rehiring of their fired coworker, and more.
