Their demands:
1) The right to unionize without intimidation
2) Commitment to non-discrimination based on legal classes
3) Discipline happens on the clock and is free from harassment and abuse
4) Right to self-defense, covid safety, disaster/emergency pay raises, and zero tolerance for harassment
5) All firings should have a Just Cause
6) Allow workers to pick up shifts in non-union stores, transfer to them, etc.
7) Reimbursement for necessary equipment, limits on dress code
8) Full time for 32+ hours, benefits for 20 hours
9) New work cannot be added to job descriptions without negotiation
10) Schedule guarantees
11) Seniority will be used to prevent unfair working conditions
12) Workers in a store will have a committee to oversee working conditions in their store
13) No reduction in wages or benefits without negotiation
14) Unions have a place set up in the break room for union comms
15) The right to wear union pins/swag
Absolutely zero of these are "petulant", and we can argue about whether any of them are "counterproductive", but they all seem absolutely baseline reasonable to me.
