According to the spokesperson for the protesting Domino’s employees, signs put up at many Domino’s branches called for workers to refrain from organizing. The signs indicated that the company would view as loyal workers who cancel their membership in the union. He said hat there were Domino’s managers who blocked entrance to their branches to workers who they identified as being part of the union. The Domino’s workers chose to unionize due to a large number of complaints that accumulated with regard to their pension rights, overtime pay, rights accruing due to seniority, recuperation pay and other rights. Especially worrisome to the workers, was the welfare of the delivery employees who ride on mopeds that are not properly maintained, and work in all weather conditions without the appropriate clothing.
