so with the big run happening at wahoo world in less than 2 weeks, many people looking to leave grizzco will likely find themselves unable to break out of their contracts in time of the run itself. here's some tips from your local union rep to help ensure the safety and wellbeing of your fellow laborers and of the migrating salmonids:
if you aren't employed at all and see all those openings the weekend of big run, do NOT be tempted by any promises of a high pay grade. new employees are always paid the lowest wages that the company can get away with, and if you sign up as a temp worker they'll almost always worm their way of paying you entirely and claim your shifts as being an unpaid internship
grizzco recruiters target inkfish fresh out of school who aren't familiar with regulatory standards and practices for jobs involving manual labor and don't know their rights as workers. check in with your local chapter of the industrial woomies of the world and they can bring you up to speed on whatever you need to know about your rights
if you are employed at a workplace that was acquired in a grizzco buyout and were grandfathered into the company, double-check the terms your contract. don't let upper management pressure you into big run participation if your contract exempts you from doing salmon runs, despite any claims of it being "mandatory" work
call in sick if you're feeling unwell the day before, even if you know you aren't contagious. grizzco might not pay you sick leave, but they're still obligated to give you that time off. contact the union if you're refused time off and they'll back you up and help you deal with management
never go more than 2 hours on the job without taking a break. make it a minimum of 15 minutes, and make sure you drink some water and have something to eat in the meantime
keep your eye out for the pathways salmonids are taking on land, and make sure nobody crowds around the places where they're surfacing from the water
ink storms can reduce visibility for everybody, not just workers. redirect any drizzler projectiles towards the sky above the ocean so they don't accidentally hit any salmonids on land
if there's a slammin lid out on the field, make sure any workers and salmonids on the ground stay out of its crash radius
don't go out of your way to go past quota. the only reward a hard worker gets is more work
always ask for consent before kissing your coworkers on the job
