A union that’s organizing Waffle Houseworkers filed a petition with the Labor Department on Monday, asking federal officials to investigate the iconic chain’s policy of deducting mandatory meal costs from workers’ paychecks.
Waffle House takes at least $3 for each on-shift meal out of workers’ pay, whether they end up eating it or not, according to the petition from the Union of Southern Service Workers. The USSW called it “especially alarming” since many workers are paid a tipped sub-minimum wage “as low as $2.90 per hour,” not including gratuities.
Yes, it is virtually impossible in the U.S. anyways. I’m mostly joking, but I do have a very long list. lol
Good reminder for me too, thanks! I haven’t memorized the full list yet https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nestlé_brands
Fuck me they own Purina, which is fantastic pet food. And stouffer’s, which is terrible but delicious and fast human food.
Welp, I’ll forego the frozens but my cats are more important than my morals.
I agree on Stouffer’s, but I knew about that one as I live in the same region as the original US factory for them. However, I stick with whatever knock-off brand looks best these days. Yes, being intimately familiar with the finickiness of cats, that is the only option.
