00:00Hi, what's your name?
00:02My name is Rob O'Connell.
00:04R-O-B-O-C-O-N-N-E-L-L.
00:10Hey Rob, what are we doing here?
00:12Right now I'm here trying to fight for a fair contract, fair wages, more staffing, better hours, and better conditions.
00:20And what do you do here?
00:21I work at Bonds and Glendora.
00:23And what department?
00:25I work as a front-end cashier.
00:27Okay, and what do you hope to accomplish with this?
00:29Sorry?
00:30What do you hope to accomplish with all of this?
00:32I hope to be better staffing, more hours, and better conditions in our store.
00:37Are they being unfair to you right now?
00:39Yes, hours are being squeezed really tight. They're not giving us enough hours. It's very stressful.
00:44Are they hanging off?
00:46There's no layoffs, but they're giving us a very minimal amount of hours.
00:49Wow. So they want you to quit sometimes?
00:51It seems like it. It's just like they're giving us a very minimal amount of hours and very poor conditions.
00:58Thank you very much, man. I appreciate it.
01:01Cool.
01:02It sounded okay.
