Dollar Store Workers Fight to Improve Jobs, Even Without a Union
Dollar General stocker David Williams witnessed a violent incident at his workplace in 2019, where two co-workers struggled to subdue a would-be shoplifter with a knife.
Williams, who makes $11.50 an hour, explained his inaction, saying
"I only get paid one time, and that is to be a stocker... So, sorry, I'm not about to put my life on the line."
Williams joined Step Up Louisiana in 2022, seeking better working conditions and pay, as he often struggles to make rent.
Experts suggest that "premajority" campaigns can help workers achieve victories, even without unionization, which has declined under Trump.
