So much for a job. They hired me. I joined the union. Then they laid me off after just a couple of months. This was so expenses would be down and then the managers could get a higher bonus.
When you work there if things are slow they send you home and don't pay you for it. But if they don't tell you your schedule or they get it wrong and think you should have been there but you didn't show up they have a complete panic attack and threaten to fire you over it.
In my case this stinks because I had another job that I didn't take because I thought Giant was a good company.

There are two Giant supermarket chains, one of Landover, Maryland and one of Carslile, Pa. The original complaint was from Landover, and the first rebuttal was from Carslile.
Both companies are owned by Ahold USA, but are seperate entities.
Many Gaint-Landover associates are members of the UFCW union, and I am not sure about Giant-Carslile.
Also, layoffs do not make the manager's bonuses any bigger.

I've worked for Giant for almost 5 years and have never had a problem with the company in any way. First, you said you joined the union, to my knowledge Giant has never been a union. Maybe things are different there in Vabut here in Pa it was never a union.
If they ask you if you want to go home and you say "Yes" they do not have to pay you. By answering yes you volunteered, you could have said "No" if you wanted to get paid. Also after 4 hours if they send you home they don't have to pay either. (That I"m not entirely sure about)
As far as Not showing up because they didn't tell you your schedule well that your own fault. It's your responsibility to get your hours for the next week and let someone know if there a problem with it.
