Unionize IYR 2021

We are not paid enough to make our working conditions tolerable and would like to see a raise effective to a minimum of $15 per hour to all entry level part time and full time employees. We also would like to see disciplinary action taken against coworkers who have been / are verbally hostile. We would like to be offered paid sick leave while working through an active viral pandemic, given that we potentially expose ourselves to the risk of Covid-19 several hundred times a week. Because we work outdoors in a drive-thru lot, there is frequent and daily exposure to car exhaust as well as the drivers of said cars; given the random nature of donors donated boxes being full of assorted, miscellaneous objects, there is frequent exposure to sharp, pointed and / or broken objects that may cut, pierce or puncture the skin regardless of an employee wearing work-provided or work-approved gloves, but there is neither signage nor policy (or if there is, no enforcement of such) that would prevent these circumstances and we would like for that to change as well. Finally, we would like equitable and fair access to the same benefits regardless of position within the store, be it part or full time.
