    You didn’t get laid off because you discussed your wages.

    You were laid off because you couldn’t keep your cards close to your chest and told the company y’all had been discussing wages.

    Having the right to discuss it doesn’t mean you should do it in front of the boss.

      concerted organizing activity is protected under the law. talking about it with your boss yourself is not organizing activity. talking about it with a coworker in front of your boss is.

      this is what a job journal is for. it would prove what happened.

        I wish I could believe in the system like you do. Have you ever tried to get justice in the US?

          the law that protected concerted organizing activity is the same that took the teeth out of the unions. i want to see that law abolished, but i’m an anarchist, so i want them all gone.
