BREAKING: @JackBox workers in Sacramento have walked off the job on strike After a pregnant co-worker was threatened at gunpoint, she was told to finish her shift & her hours were cut when she refused. This is obscene. We've filed a complaint with CalOSHA. #UnionsForAll
Okay so this comment previously said that this was old footage and linked an article that was from a year ago. Looks like that was getting things mixed up and this is maybe recent? I'm no longer sure which way but it is leaning towards true. I have to go to bed so make sure to verify yourself.
I read it as someone robbed the store at gunpoint. The manager told the pregnant worker to finish her shift instead of having compassion like a human being. And then retaliated when she left the shift by cutting her hours… not that the manager had the gun
The manager costs her company millions in negative PR by not exercising an ounce of good judgment and probably less than 50$ in wages if she had just let this poor girl go home. That’s why these places need to be unionized.
Stay strong brothers and sisters. Millions of Americans see this and smile. You have the support of the majority of Americans despite what the media spouts.
I get the sentiment. But we shoulda not be smiling at this we should be crossing our arms and shaking our heads. It is infuriating that people even have to walk out.
I unsubbed from this community after that shitshow of a fox interview. For some reason these posts still litter my feed. Every last one of these posts with tens of thousands of upvotes are absolutely just shills scamming you for internet points.
I can't find anything about this on my end. Only a video from 9 months ago when they were striking for owed pay where they are weirdly holding the same sign
When I hear stuff like this I don't think you should have to mention that they were pregnant. Even if a non pregnant person had this happen to them they shouldn't be expected to finish up their shift
Yeah there is news about protesting due to lack of air conditioning but nothing about a pregnant woman being held at gunpoint. There are enough problems with working conditions that deserve protests. When you just flat out lie about things like this it makes the whole movement look bad.
Is there an organization that you can donate to that offers assistance for workers that are striking to make sure they don’t go hungry or help with bills? I can’t imagine this is easy for a group of fast food employees to do.
Years ago there was an active shooting going on across the mall from the restaurant I was working at. There were police everywhere and they came in and searched our bathrooms and stuff. The demeanor of the officer and his request to search our building while holding his gun is what made me stop focusing on work.
This generation doesn't want to work at gun point woth reduced benefits, lower pay, and longer hours. They are so entitled and lazy it's unbelievable. /s
For Sac locals: this is the Jack In The Box off College Oak and Madison near 80, across from the Target. Not to be confused with the Jack in the Box on the other side of 80 off Madison and Hillsdale next to the Scandia.
Thank you, my son worked at a T-mobile over there, not the best of neighborhoods, his store was robbed a few times. The one over off hillsdale is even worse, that area is dangerous.
If someone is working at your company and they get threatened at gunpoint, you give them whatever they want. If they want to go home, you don't say "no finish your shift" you let them go home. You take them home and ask if there is anything else you can do at the moment. You BE THERE for your employee.
It would be awesome if all of you minimum wage workers called a general strike. The country would grind to a halt. Nobody to clean the offices... nobody to take the rubbish away... nobody to cook the food or brew the coffee. Nobody to mind the children... nobody to teach the children. Nobody to man the phones for the rip off insurance companies... you get the picture. Together you hold all the real power, divided, you'll never get a decent wage or decent workers rights
What fucking asshat of a manager made her do that? It's one thing if "big corporate" demanded it, it's another to be the front line manager who carries it out and does this. I get it, different people different circumstances. But, I could never, ever, compromise my own sense of humanity and values for a job.
I had an acquaintance who worked at one of the old $0.99 Clearance Centers and he was robbed at gunpoint (pointed right up against the side of his head). He as given adequate off and upon seeing a psychologist was on disability for another year+ until he moved.
Do you think you can make a post about this strike? You seem to know something here and considering this is the only post I've seen about this strike I'm hesitant to take it down as awareness is good. I can leave a top comment denying the title if you can give me something that says otherwise?
Jack n the box workers, unionize by demanding a small pay increase (of you are going to start a union, you will need some good lawyers and union dues to pay for it), but let the focus of the strike be better working conditions. I suggest setting up an email account, use pastebin and Discord to discuss what better working conditions are needed. Links to the emails, discord and pastebin or Google documents should be in all aforementioned locations. Good luck and stay organized. Leadership structures are good too, but structure doesn't happen by itself. Select a speaker.
Please tell me that there was a robbery and an insensitive manager was a shitty boss who wouldn't let her go home. (The kind of shitty boss who threatens you when you call in sick, and now there's a sick person making the burgers.)
How much of a bootlicking piece of shit do you have to be to tell your employee they can’t go home after having a gun raised against them over shitty tacos? Jesus Christ. That manager can shove their 40k/year salary up their own ass.
Having a child while being employed at a fast food restaurant? You’re going to have a bad time. Why do people insist on bringing children into poverty?
This has nothing to do with unions or workers rights: as I’m sure many have already pointed out. Holding someone at gunpoint to work is already illegal no matter where you go.

At gunpoint???

Stay strong brothers and sisters. Millions of Americans see this and smile. You have the support of the majority of Americans despite what the media spouts.
And even from Europe, keep fighting strong for your rights fellow Americans ! You deserve it and nobody should be ever treated like that.
Exactly right.
Labor rights are human rights and a win for one is a win for us all!
Please support them. Join their protest. Write to that business headquarters to let them know that you will not buy again from them. Move!
I get the sentiment. But we shoulda not be smiling at this we should be crossing our arms and shaking our heads. It is infuriating that people even have to walk out.

True. And Europe supports you too. It's a shame people have to fight for such benefits. But you sure need to keep fighting
First read the title and thought “fuck…does this mean I have to boycott the Party Packs now?”.
There may even be a dozen of us.
Seriously. Why do they have @JackBox and not @JackInTheBox?
Quiplash for their new name
yeah, not my precious jackbox collection!
Glad mine wasn’t the only heart attack to be had.
Thank you. I love trivia murder party and quiplash (plus others) and would hate if this was them.
I'll give you my Trivia Murder Party 2 when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.
I can’t give up my Fibbage.
I thought the CEO of the Jackbox video games was point guns at pregnant women. I was so confused but not surprised? Those games are kinda dark.
Same!
The series really went downhill after Arnie mysteriously disappeared
Is there an article about it

I'm looking too. The most I see so far is
A sign reads "pass AB 257" which was passed in January. So yeah, this post is just karma farming with a click bait headline.
Here's a link to the tweet and story.

That's the same store. This is a new incident.
Here you go:

Yeah this is just karma whoring.
Godspeed you magnificent bastards
Pretty please do us a favor and drop the link to an article.
heres the article for you
The twitter handle of the offending company in this story had me worried the folks at jackbox.tv were the new Blizzard.
You can do it all together, there’s strength in a union! You are awesome!
Thought this was Jackbox games and I was very confused
Every new place that this happens... you love to see it. Sad it has to happen.
OH FUCK NO! I was robbed at gunpoint at Krispy Kreme when I was 19. I left after I gave my statement to the police and I never went back.
Solidarity ✊

She didn't want to finish her shift?!
I’d like to back hand bitch slap every member of the “back in my day…!!!” crowd one time into next week.

Jack's head in the box. (Hopefully)
Actual story Jack in the Box workers at Sacramento location go on strike, claiming $184K due in backpay
That's definitely not Jackbox Games.
I was thinking this was Jackbox Games. Why not have company name in the post instead of their twitter handle?
Go get em Americans. Unionize every single big companies!
I lived in Citrus Heights near Sacramento for about 5 years until 2020.
Lol I thought it was talking about the party video game company.
I was so confused and thought wait what it's just a party game! They're that serious about their prompt writers?
When I hear stuff like this I don't think you should have to mention that they were pregnant. Even if a non pregnant person had this happen to them they shouldn't be expected to finish up their shift

maybe if you weren’t being such a smug asshole up and down this entire post people would listen to you

This sub falls for the weakest stories. At this point all top posts seem like fan fiction for circle jerking. It's sad, this sub could be much more.
All this sub is these days is lies.
Did this actually happen or is it just karma whoring by OP?
🚨THIS IS FROM LAST YEAR GUYS DONT BE FOOLED. THEY ARE KARMA FARMING 🚨
Sounds about right, she was probably written up too for causing the person to point a gun at her, always the employees fault
Companies are making more profit than at any point in history and yet they behave like they can’t spare a dime. Fucking greedy bastards.
So…when do we revolution?
OP is a phony
Of all the states to do this in, California was the wrong choice. Jack in the Box needs to do some hardcore damage control quick.
Yeah there is news about protesting due to lack of air conditioning but nothing about a pregnant woman being held at gunpoint. There are enough problems with working conditions that deserve protests. When you just flat out lie about things like this it makes the whole movement look bad.
That sucks all around
Is there an organization that you can donate to that offers assistance for workers that are striking to make sure they don’t go hungry or help with bills? I can’t imagine this is easy for a group of fast food employees to do.
people just don't want to work at gunpoint anymore
Curious to see how Jack In The Box responds to this. I can't imagine they would back the dumbass manager.
Years ago there was an active shooting going on across the mall from the restaurant I was working at. There were police everywhere and they came in and searched our bathrooms and stuff. The demeanor of the officer and his request to search our building while holding his gun is what made me stop focusing on work.
This generation doesn't want to work at gun point woth reduced benefits, lower pay, and longer hours. They are so entitled and lazy it's unbelievable. /s
Whatever the reason, workers standing up for themselves is always a welcome sight. Solidarity forever!
I thought being held up at gunpoint was a normal day in the life of Jack in the Box workers.
Women should not have to work
Try filing a report with the police instead.
At gunpoint…. How about do something about your gun laws United States
Honestly dude fuck Jack in the Box as a company, and fuck 90 percent of it's franchise owners. I worked there as a first job mid-covid and it sucked.
Is their handle seriously JackBox? Where I'm from they're called "adult video stores".
Wish them the best ! However my fear is that the Jack in the Box is just going to turn around and fire everyone.
[удалено]
And replace them with whom?

In and out would never!

OP, link to an article detailing this? There is zero chance this story is true.
Yeah... I cant find anything about it I even tried using obvious keywords that would be found like 'pregnant'.. Zero lol
Who's the heartless motherfucker.Really what the hell happened to that person to turn out to be such a shitty human.
WTF. Companies really do treat us like appliances they can order from a catalog.
Every hour the strike goes on, the more money they lose and the more people inspired.
It would be awesome if all of you minimum wage workers called a general strike. The country would grind to a halt. Nobody to clean the offices... nobody to take the rubbish away... nobody to cook the food or brew the coffee. Nobody to mind the children... nobody to teach the children.

Amen to you all. We need people like Y'all fighting the good fight.

I get it, different people different circumstances. But, I could never, ever, compromise my own sense of humanity and values for a job.
No manager did it, OP made up a story
Good on you guys! When you fight, you can win! Fuck them! Unionize!!
Heck yeah!
Wait Jackbox? Like the party games?
[удалено]
Where are the references for this? Both sides, not just the worker’s…
Tell me America is a great nation and I’ll tell you, you’re a lie. No great nation would ever have anyone do this to a citizen.
That’s because it didn’t happen. OP just made up some bullshit in the title.
Easy to hate money when you don't have it, Europoor .
Wut

yes thanks for posting made up phony shit for karma. suckers
Bastard Jack and his ice cream-cone head.
What a world we live in when greed is far more important then people. But it’s only going to get worse because this is how the USA SCOTUS thinks

Fuck jack in the box. I worked for this shithole for 3 years and only made a dollar over minimum wage as a “shift manager”
Keep fighting my friends, stick to your guns
Anything we can do to help?
No more free churros on mother's wake day for you until we figure this shit out!
WAGIES RISE UP!
I had an acquaintance who worked at one of the old $0.99 Clearance Centers and he was robbed at gunpoint (pointed right up against the side of his head). He as given adequate off and upon seeing a psychologist was on disability for another year+ until he moved.

This is the type of stuff we need to see! Well done
On an unrelated note I wish there was a Jack in the Box in the midwest. I'd be a regular there all the time! But that video is fucked up

Jack in the box is garbage, one more reason to never go there
They honestly expected her to stay and work? How cold hearted!
Restaurant I worked in was robbed at gun point and it was no big deal we finished up and closed when the cops got there.
Good for you. Stand up for what's right!
Respect
Fyi, this location has been treating workers like shit for years. This isn't this specific store's first strike.
So she'll lose her job at Jack in the Box. Look at it as a positive career move.
Jack in the Box is different than Jack Box
jack just gonna close in sacramento.
Good ole Sacramento
Lol striking without a Union? Let’s see how that works.
I read that as her supervisor threatened her at gunpoint.
Please tell me that there was a robbery and an insensitive manager was a shitty boss who wouldn't let her go home. (The kind of shitty boss who threatens you when you call in sick, and now there's a sick person making the burgers.)
Sacramentos really making its way around the internet recently. too bad its not nice publicity
Of course this happened in my home town....
[удалено]
How much of a bootlicking piece of shit do you have to be to tell your employee they can’t go home after having a gun raised against them over shitty tacos? Jesus Christ. That manager can shove their 40k/year salary up their own ass.
Having a child while being employed at a fast food restaurant? You’re going to have a bad time. Why do people insist on bringing children into poverty?
Thank you for supporting her. Seriously.
Gunpoint. Figurative, right?
Shouldn’t they also be upset with the kind gentleman that pulled the gun?
Jack in the Box just needs to sell their curly fry recipe and go out of business
Far as I can tell this is old. And nothing about a pregnant woman being forced to work after getting held at gunpoint.
Sick ppl
Elon: this isn't what i meant when i said free speech.
I hope every fast food chain goes out of business, just so I could see all the idiots who can barely even manage those jobs be homeless.
Sacramento here; which JITB?
Unions are a fantastic tool. If you use them properly.
Is there any articles to back this up? I can’t find any on Google.
Wait ... threatened at gunpoint to finish her shift?!
Yooo my home town….
Time to eat wall-street.
This has nothing to do with unions or workers rights: as I’m sure many have already pointed out. Holding someone at gunpoint to work is already illegal no matter where you go.
Thank god this wasn’t Jackbox TV.
This looks like the Jack over on Blue Ravine in Folsom. I am not finding anything that indicates a strike now?
OP does not when to use the phrase "at gunpoint"
Theres no way this can be real. wtf
Karma slut. Share new info u smelly kunt
Yeah cuz that minimum wage job was so direly essential / NOT. SMH
