[QUOTE="Lazvon, post: 8824566, member: 33782"] Excellent information. Clearly need to unionize and properly provide for the workers. I am a senior executive in technology industry. In the late 80s and through the 90s I was consulting and consulted at several of smaller privately owned companies where the owners were clearly maximizing their profits at incredible levels, and yes, the fancy office, cars, and home(s) were key indicators. Anyway, yes, should provide better for the employees. What I would offer… 75 employees… retail/warehouse/CSR… starting $15/hour up to $30/hour with annual raises based on productivity and tenure. On warehouse/CSR side, if your productivity drops and is the lowest, your next raise might be nothing… and 3-6months later if you don’t come up to average, probably time to part ways - have 4-weeks base + 1-week per year severance. The highest productivity maybe 7%, average ~2.5% raise and for weird years like this one, probably half of the full year CPI %. The next year if no deflation, would give the other half. 3-weeks/year PTO, recommend you don’t use it all up front in case you are sick in the fall. Can carryover 1-week. Years 3-7, 4-weeks. Years 8+, 5-weeks. Warehouse closed between Xmas and New Years. Can work in retail if any of those folks want off that week. Inventory first week of July for warehouse - no recieving/shipping. Healthcare fully paid (no copays) for anyone making less than $75k/year. 5-days immediate paid bereavement spouse/partner/child. 3-days parent/brother/sister/grandkid. 2-days other family/close friend (twice a year). 4-weeks paid childbirth. 41-55 hours 1.5x hourly rate; 56+ hours 2x. 2x15m breaks or 3x10m, 1x30m break per scheduled 8.5 hour shift. Another 15m if 10-12 hours. 75 folks, 20% low end of pay (average $17/hour), 50% middle ($22/hour) 30% top ($27/hour)… Actually going to have to hire another 10-people with all them at PTO or pay a lot more in OT. Probably going to have stop buying houses and cars quite so often… but should be doable it sounds like… definitely going to cut into the profits though. Hope you guys get the union through and fair treatment deserved! [/QUOTE]
