owners said it MAY be due to so many on unemployment:
Well, duh-huh, with the extra $300/$400 weekly while on unemployment of course people don't want to work and take a cut in pay!

My business is not anything to do with food, it's industrial supply, but we're having a terrible time finding employees willing to actually work.

Jobs and unemployment are moving the right way. That pisses you off.
Have dealt with many employees as that in my life time.
Maybe they don't want to serve holier than thou liberals.
Maybe, restaurants here Require mask for customers/employees and I guess the answer to your 'maybe' will be answered when the Extra $300 or$400 ends for those on unemployment.
IMO, they will be standing ready to work vax/mask or no vax/mask and the one restaurant was high class and w/prices a server could easily make the extra $3/400 probably in 2 nights tips (the cheapest a couple could get out the door would be over $100)
Those must be the one's I see alone in their cars wearing mask!
The anti-vax, anti-mask mouth breathers are holier than thou conservatives.
From about '95 on i probably had to let around twenty five people go from the phone company, These were linemen and splicers and top pay was around 50k plus ot.
The attitudes were I'm in the union, they'll protect me no matter what.
Some I fired for accidents but most for pisspoor job performance, ie quality and or production, there was always an amazing element of surprise from them when they were fired for poor job performance.
We gave them a job, not a home.
Never met one.
We have people applying for a position but then not showing up for an interview. That way they comply with the requirement that they do a job search....
I'd suggest they do a better job of detecting these half assed attempts.
I have. Plenty of 'em in Texas.
Just let a guy go because he argued with our manager about some food he burnt and had to do over. We have two ovens on different temps. Cookies get cooked on a lower temp. He burnt a couple of batches and got pretty pissy with the manager. I fired him for insubordination. He then fired back at me that I was violating his first amendment rights....Unreal. He worked for us a grand total of a month and now is pissed that he can't get unemployment since he was fired for cause and we contested his application for UI.
Yes, only worked ONE Union job and that was their attitudes 'we can't be fired' until up popped the cross-eyed steward with pink slips.............I wanted away from that job so much I framed the pink-slip so I'd never forget it.
I've had a couple call asking for part-time work, BUT, they wanted to be paid under the table due to unemployment checks and of course I can't post what I replied.
I worked at a furniture factory that a union was trying to organize. I was threatened by other workers when I refused to walk off the job. We were confronted one night by guys with baseball bats and chains, looking to start a fight. Another guy with me pulled a .357 out of his pocket and that ended the conversation.
I quit there when I went into the Navy in '72, but would never join a union.
Better watch out I hear they breed like bunnies.
I never really had a problem with the union and I was well versed with the cwa contract and had the ability to discuss issues with our labour legal beforehand. It worked wonders.
We as managers had a clear cut system. Council, warn (verbal), written x 2, suspension, 1-3-5 days, second level warning of termination and if they went over the line in the sand boom! Gone.
I only had two cases taken to arbitration and the finding was in favour of the company.
This was over 32 years and roughly 30 grievance cases. My advice to the new managers was read the contract, follow the management handbook and document, document, document! The ones that didn't ended up in trouble.
