Taking a stand..well at least a mini one
So last night Pas came over and was kind of down in the dumps. But it's always the same thing that bothers him...work! The kitchen is really bad to work in, they don't get tips, the servers walk away with at least over a $100 every night and it's really not fair to the cooks since they work just as hard if not harder (for sure harder and longer) than the servers. So it was really bumming him out so he thought of something he would like to do...he wanted to make a facebook group. Basically just a place where people can go to rant about some of the things about work ie//lack of tips for some departments (including front desk) no discounts in the pub, working back to back shift (2pm till 11pm and than back in at 6:30am the next day) which technically is against the labour laws here in Alberta. So I helped him do up the group and posted it on Facebook. We invited quite a few former and current employees of the Post and so far we have about 14 people who joined. Some people won't cause they don't want to get in trouble and I understand that cuase I had the same hesitations but please remember people that this is only Facebook! Not a reveloution. It made Pas feel better and I support him. I felt after it was done that maybe we shouldn't have done it but at the same time it's a matter of principal. We've not said anything bad about the Post or its management we just have some matters that we would like to be heard on. Maybe a little voice can be heard once it's joined by other little voices :)
