Im guessing having your employee damaged or killed is bad business practice

Depends upon the employee. I know the place I work would benefit from the loss of several individuals.

I presume he was fired about 10 min. later?

No mate, that Union is so powerful it literally took management 1.5 years to build a case strong enough to fire a couple guys who stole food every day, and didn't even try to hide it, like sharing a 6 foot sub in the employee dining room. And, I'm no snitchz.

I've seen it happen too, those freaking doors lock from the outside, how stupid is that.

Well, you can't have the employees they trap in there getting out, can you?

No but it's an honest question. I really thought the store I used to work with was just one of a kind, those huge freezer doors auto-lock, why?

Fear of frozen piglets striking back on humans?

Probably to prevent stealing. Im more than willing to admit it was a freak accident

With the amount of bacon consumed by some folks around here, can you blame them for striking back?

But yeah, seriously, why these doors can't be opened from the inside is a legitimate question.

My sales job sends me to a lot of grocery stores where I go to the back rooms to see how much product we have a store to see how much I sell at the store. The point I am trying to make is the bacon is in a meat cooler that isnt locked like a freezer. It usually only has those double doors

actually I think most of them are now...all the cooler and freezer doors at Whole Foods can be opened from the inside

now you know why many of s think that unions have long outlived their usefulness in the workplace

I actually have no issue with unions in the private sector. Sometimes they are needed. My objections are to unions in the public sector.

I agree this particular case depicts the worst in Unions, but I still believe they are essential. You don't know it until you actually need it.

Here's a funny work experience: Canada's public sector pay problems. Been an ongoing issues for years now, you might have heard of it (Phoenix). The previous administration centralized the pay system then everything went baloney. People not paid at all for months, some for up to a year, had to take in loans to pay mortgages, people underpaid, people overpaid. As of now, I'm owed about 10k+. Our public sector union made sure that all the expenses being a direct consequences of this issue will be fully reimbursed, that can be reasonably justified of course. My union also re-negotiated our collective agreement, which boosted my annual salary by approximately 6k last year.

And, thanks to my union, I have allowances to take time off (up to a week fully paid) to take care of an ill immediate-relative. Been spending 1 in every two days in the hospital this past month, and if on top of that I'd need to work overtime to make ends meet I'd have to cut on my bacon dietary requirements quota, which would be unbearable.

Hey guys sorry I haven't been you to respond if you would like to know why I haven't been around please go to off-topic chatter, something really bad happened and I explained it there, it'll explain my disappearance and it's pretty serious...I've been catching up on your posts and they're pretty good! Thanks for sharing your work stories

Weren't Amazon's issues documented in an episode of "Doctor Who" last season? "Kerblam!" was the title.
