Been working for Pepsi for about a year and a half. It wasnt the worst job but it was fun and making 60,000 a year being uneducated( i dont posses a BA but im about 5 semesters away) it was good enough for me. The benefits and pay were great.
We would work a shitload of overtime. Anyways about 4 months ago we got a new Warehouse supervisor and all through the summer they make so much money that they will bitch about your performance but really they dont care as long as the work gets done before 14 hours( i average about 12 in the summer months).
We've always been Union( a weak one at that), and Theyve usually been good about protecting use from disciplinary action in regards to our performance since our warehouse has many obstacles and isnt up to standard with how it runs. We service the biggest area of any Warehouse in the country.
Anyways Our union was going through negotiations with Pepsi for 6 months passed the term of the contract arguing to try to get performance into our union contract. When our union didnt budge Pepsi basically resigned the same contract as before. But they decided to begin to a disciplinary process for our performance even though its not in our contract.
The level they want us to hit is unrealistic and they have given everyone in the warehouse multiple write ups and are planning to fire every single person in the next few weeks. Some of my coworkers have talked to other warehouses and the same thing is occurring.
Apparently Pepsi is wanting to break every union across all their warehouses( in California at least) and probably pay people $8 bucks a hour?
Pepsi = New wallmart
Our Warehouse Prab revenues 10 million a week at the least and they complaining that there 180k over budget for the year. Granted those budget are based are forecast and our sales are always like 200,000 cases of soda over forecast every week in the summer.
