 Disgruntled Employee

Write a Letter to this Company
I am an employee of The Rockford IL store..My hours have been cut numerous times. Today was the last straw when I realized that I am working all day on Friday without a break. Apparently they have once again decided to cut a 3 hours shift that would have made it possible for me to take a break..Not only is this illegal, but unfair..I am ready to call the labor board on this company! Help!
I want the scheduling to be fair! if you cannot afford to pay an employee minimum wage for a 3 hour shift so supervisor can take a break then the doors need to shut forever! Enough is enough!

I understand your frustration. What are YOU doing to drum up more
business.Their success depends on you and your performance. Think out
side the box, and get invovled. Don't be "poor me". Make it happen and
turn it around. The results will not only benefit you but might
re-energize your passion for the business.

It sounds like the three-hour shift that got cut is another employee,
someone they'd work a short shift and also help cover someone's break
during that time.

"What is the law regarding breaks and meal periods?"
An employee who is to work 7 1/2 continuous hours or more shall be
provided a meal period of at least 20 minutes. The meal period must be
given to an employee no later than 5 hours after beginning work...

bit confusing that way.
But in all honesty... it happens. The company will get fined but
nothing much else.

I know you're frustrated and annoyed, but take a step out of that for
a moment and try to see things from a different point of view.
WHO exactly do you think they are going to get to work a 3 hr shift,
at minimum wage, with no benefits? Somehow, even with unemployment
still running pretty high, that's HARDLY an attractive career track.
Secondly, if they close the doors forever, you lose your job. Are you
sure you really want that?
If the local or state law is truly being broken in your store, you
have an OBLIGATION to have it investigated, so, by all means, call the
labor board. If they are in the wrong, it will HAVE to be corrected.
But again, you are already upset at the decrease in your hours now.
Are you SURE you really want to open that can of proverbial worms?
