Unionize every workplace
Krispy Kreme Krew… that explains a lot.
For feedback, I would just print off the federal labor codes for my country, highlighting specific sections. I’d just hand it to the management verbatim. I wouldn’t cherry pick or leave anything out, just emphasize specific passages.
Guess what? That’s illegal here.
It would be a thinly veiled threat that I’ll ruin their lives if they don’t back track immediately… All said without uttering a single syllable.
Well coincidentally I’ll need to take a 15 minute shit around the time when my 15 minute break used to be.
the boss makes a dollar, I make a dime.
that’s why I shit on company timeIt’s not company time if it’s unpaid.
Donald Trump and Elon Musk gutted the National Labor Relations Board and (illegally) fired people, including those that were conducting 24 active investigations into Musk’s companies. Shit like this is the result of those fascist actions. Boycott Krispy Kreme!
Boycott Krispy Kreme!
easy to do, it’s garbage anyway!
I don’t really understand what’s being implied here. Isn’t 30 > 15?
My guess is they probably previously had 1 or 2 15-minute paid breaks, and a 30-minute unpaid lunch break. But now they only get the unpaid break.
Bingo. Lots of states have an optional set of 15 minute breaks that are in my state often referred to as smoking breaks because the Midwest is still in large part stuck in 1910.
The 15 minute breaks were paid.
Now they are only getting the mandatory 30 minute paid break for lunch (which they only have to do if you work over 5 hours in a shift).
They still get the legally mandated 15 minute breaks; they just aren’t paid for it.
You get mandatory 30 min paid breaks? For me it’s unpaid lol.
Scheduled for 5 hours, no 30 minutes necessary.
Scheduled for 5.5 hours, you get 30 minute unpaid break so you are there for longer but make the same amount of money
I’m in California, so I get paid breaks, but unpaid lunch. It still comes out to the same as the employees of the place in the meme, really. 🤷♂️
Still getting an hour of time not working; only getting paid for 30 minutes of that time.
Take it anyway
Better check your state laws. Paid breaks plus unpaid lunch are legally required depending on the state
unions are important
Honestly, never trust a company replacing C’s with K’s, especially if it contains alliteration. They will shy away from adding the 3rd K too publicly, but they know what it means.
Krispy Kreme actually got in trouble for this once, because a UK based location went rogue and implemented a rewards program called the “Krispy Kreme Klub”.
hey hey
I get two 10 min breaks in a 10 hr shift
Fuck America.
I think this is actually illegal in most states
Only illegal if anyone will actually do anything to protect the workers. Otherwise it’s just lip service
Legal in my fucking bullshit state. Fucking fuck fuck fuck America.
When your only option is getting fucked over, and you need to play it safe, destroy them one inch at a time.
Be asymmetrical. Be guerilla. Every single day.
Sleep in the cooler. After you huff all the nitrous from the whip cream.
Clean the toilets with bread flour
I think its time to kwit.

Just bringing it up might get the breaks back. But fighting for better working conditions is always the right choice
Reclaim your workplace from the owners!
wE cAN’t FiNd GOod HeLp!
This is the kind of fucking bullshit that happens when a company goes public. It is no longer about product and productivity; it is about value extraction. The first place it is extracted from is the labor force.
I’m sure any time a policy like this is enacted, it will not increase productivity over the whole shift.
