Home Depot sucks
Home depot doesn't want to unionize. They want to continue to treat their employees like crap. Reason why i won't shop there. I speak from personal experience
A company would rather close a store down then let a union start
Real ones support local lumber yards
Solidarity Forever 💯💪🏼
I used to work at Home Depot. One of my hobbies is going there now as a customer and leaving union literature around the store. This drives management into a full blown panic!
So what you're saying is he fucked around and found out?
ahhhhhh!!! the world according to Vince .
Thanks Max for giving my son a voice. I appreciate you brother!
I don't shop at The Home Dump,even though there is one two blocks away.
Just like I do not shop at Wally World or shop Amazon.
And someone will have the standard reply of,well they make millions or billions,so your not hurting there bottom line.
It's all about principles and that to me is worth a lot.
I am a union member.
Unions suck. Only lazy ass people with no future or work ethic want a union.
Strippers dont report all the cash to the government what a joke
I got nothing out of this interview.
I worked for Home Depot for several years. I remember during onboarding/training the whole "uNiOnS aRe ScArY aNd EviL " talk , and how we were supposed to pretty much run away if we encountered anyone who uttered the word Union

Home Depot is trash.
Home Depot is trash, trash, trash. Traaaaaaaash.
I've been to jail a couple of times, I've worked at convenience stores, I've been punched in the face, and I've had a loaded gun pointed at me. I have never been treated with the kind of contempt that I experienced working at Home Depot. Even the sheriff that dumped me into county lockup in Iowa treated me with more respect than Home Depot did. The break room at Home Depot only allowed people to watch Fox News and the Weather Channel, and management kept an authoritarian eye on people that switched the channel to the weather. It was like the way Stalin kept his eye on the cosmatists. They could have at least been a little circumspect about their contempt for their workers, but they refused to do so.
Greg Palast's Vigilante movie suffers from an incoherence of storytelling, but it paints a picture of old Georgia money trying to resurrect the project of slavery and vote-rigging. Home Depot is at the heart of that old Georgia money, evil, and darkness.
i feel so sorry for Americans having to live in such dark age conditions without any legal protection from exploitation by big corporations
I boycott Home Depot.
Contrary to manufactured belief Unions ARE communist groups and most definitely anti democratic in the long run … they are there to hobble companies from directing their business as the company envisions in their company vision statement. If you don't like where you work then go find new employment you like, what you don't do is become a 'flea' in your company's side.
By the way – I am an ex Brotherhood of electrical workers board of directors member … I got very tired of protecting members who were alcoholic drunks, drug addicts, thieves, lazy etc and who I would have fired in my own company .
Unions once had their place but these days are nothing but forced thorns in a company's side. Too many agreements are used to protect people who are actually a danger in the workplace contrary to making their fellow employees safer.
