I know the severance and fear of retaliation will hold everyone effected hostage from being able to strike but if 1300+ people quit doing their jobs overnight I’m not sure the company could function. They’d either have to change their mind or they’d be ecstatic to save on severance costs.

Or pressure the he-l out of our legislators in PA. X and Twitter are seeing an advocate pinging the heck out of mayors, reps, governor, etc….
Yes! Every single evaluation or recommend for hire I ever made as manager was over rode. Literally everything from work assignments to evaluations to PTO to who sat where (way to much time on nonsense). Totally political. All I really did was fill the gaps in production.
I've moved on to much better situation so not calling but if they called me - I'd be happy to tell them how I worked until 10 at night doing data entry. Over and over and over. The only thing that about my job that qualified as salary was my job description. Hmmmmm
100% call wage and hour. I was switched to hourly in a position that was previously salary out of no where. No back pay. Turns out the tasks I was completing are specifically excluded from a salary designation . Crown hires so many "accountants" because it meets the professional designation for salary. It doesn't matter if what you are doing is not actually anything other than data entry or routine reporting that could be done without a degree. If you are not making accounting DECISIONS you do not meet the professional standard to be salary. Someone doing any form of collections, or involved in that process are not salary.
Should be contacting wage and hour regarding unpaid time. Most of the salary people aren't actually salary by law. Two years back pay and retaliation towards employees results in fines. All you "managers" with no employees, all you with "professional degrees" doing work unrelated to your degree or below the expertise that would require a degree. All you "managers" with employees who are not actually allowed to hire, fire , schedule, evaluate and spend more than half your time doing so. Every hourly person that worked through lunch or more time than they were paid for.
Forget the union, call wage and hour.
A strike will accomplish nothing on this point. My team already lost several people over the summer with no regard for what that would do to the quality of work. They no longer care how our assets function. If they could have all 1300 quit and not have to pay severance they’d be ecstatic. We’re purely a reit holding assets at this point.
Agreed I've put thousands of unpaid hours in. Minimum 10 hours/week for years. Half of the "salary" people aren't salary by law. Hmmmmm
I am sure productivity will decrease heavily over the next year just as a result of folks knowing they won't be working here.
I know that I put so many unpaid hours into my job, but now they are going to get the most mediocre 8-5 me they have ever seen.
