Strike 1+ for the workers... oohh I'm so excited... I have to share..follow me in...
I am working at a business, and I just received a sales call from Comp USA. The sales person stated that they were open again for business, and she would like to place sales magazines in OUR place of business. I was half listening so I said, "who", and she explained that it was the computer/ electronic outlet, and it dawned on me just "who" they were.

THEN I said, "No, we cannot do that. We won't allow a company who mis-treats their valuable employees to "sell" to in OUR place of business. I'm sorry, I know you didn't make that business decision, but perhaps you can pass it on."

WooHoo.. that felt good!!!!!

1. All right, good job!
Each voice is needed to carry the message that workers are not disposable commodities.

3. You do realize that "CompUSA" is under new ownership....
.. they got bought by TigerDirect (select stores).. the only thing they kept was the name... and most of the employees in the stores in the locations that reopened (I see all familiar faces in the one they reopened here.. and they seem to be very happy with the new owners {I asked).
