this began when a Dollar General Store Manager was fired for speaking out for poor working conditions and the abuse the company gives to their employees. Time to stand up and fight back..No More of this with DG   We are now fighting for fair wages as Dollar General retailer is still the lowest paying wage job out there to date!!!  Their average starting wage is $8.00 per hour right above the federal minimum wage.  Can you imagine working only 30 hours a week, yes, what most are part timers, get and to try and raise a family. They also have a policy that you cannot work a 2nd job and if you do you must get clearance from the Divisional Vice President to do so.  This is stated in the employee handbook and standards of operating procedures.We are only asked for fair pay, better hours, no more 90 hour weeks on a salary while we do the main associates work with no overtime pay, barely any time off but 1 day a week and most stores are so understaffed due to the wage they offer anyway and store managers are required to fill any empty shifts!!   Ceo, Todd Vasos got a 38% pay increase this year while most got 3% if that at all!!! he got paid $16,000,000 last year, 16 MILLION!!! but his employees are making $8.00 its time we spread that pay around to the people who ACTUALLY Make a difference every day to the customers and shareholders. the store associates!!!!! Isnt this why Unions were first started because of back breaking policies. slave wages and slave conditions!! IN 2018 Dollar General paid $13,500 a day to a union busting company to go into the Connecticut store that employees were afraid to talk, speak or move and completely interfered with all work and yet they can pay this but cannot pay a decent wage to their employees!! When they lost and the wage was required to be recognized by a judge Dollar General shut the store down in less than a month!!!! Walk out is being held by Dollar General employees on May 2nd, 2022.. Please sign this petition in your support of our fair practices!!!   Do Not Shop dollar general on May 2nd either to support the employees, their families and against corporate Greed!!!
