    You would not believe how hard it can be to get retail staff to join a union.

    With women, I got a few to consider it, one was up for it until she realised she had to pay a tenner a month. My male colleagues, not one wanted to know. I don’t know why they are so against it. And mind, this was in a job where the store manager was a bully (physically assaulted me, a short weedy woman, twice. One of my biggest life regrets is not reporting it while we had the cctv footage) and we had multiple staff just walk out rather than deal with his verbal and emotional abuse (head office protected him because he brought in the profits).

    I just don’t get why most people are so against joining a union.

      Agree. And talking to older people about this is like swearing. they get very crazy, like crazy like you have just suggesting they broke the law and have a disease.

      They then continue to complain about people’s treatment
