Frito-Lay Is Working People To Death

Frito-Lay workers reveal that they’ve worked as much as 5 months straight without a day off, and that multiple coworkers, driven to exhaustion, have died by suicide. Their strike in Topeka, Kansas, is starting to gain nationwide attention, and now other Frito-Lay workers in other states are speaking out.

@Pink White Intuition it isn't this bad all over,but there is alot of b.s. going on in most large corporation type businesses. My last place of employment was messed up in a different way. They gave us a raise than promptly cut our hour's to where if we were going to get 40 hours, we would have to work 6 day's instead of 5. We wound up making less than we were before the $1.50 raise. First that cut our hour's by 15 minutes a day. Than without notice they cut another 15 minutes and I went to work and as soon as I got my check, I quit right then and there. They asked me why and I told them. They tried to talk me out of it, and I said no.

[@jimrizzy]

@LuxuryLyfe true but these warehouse jobs only see you as numbers, getting every last drop of optimal profit from you, then when you can't hit their "new" production requirements, they get rid of you as if you didn't spend years there slaving ur life away.....

They have been useless since 1981 when Reagan took office and got rid of the safeguards that had been put in 2:24 and cut funding for regulatory agencies. That’s when wages for workers drastically became stagnant 17.1% to CEOs pay that increased 1400%. Antitrust regulations were gutted and the regulatory agencies like OSHA are toothless. So there is something wrong? A lot decide it’s cheaper to pay a fine every so often than it is to actually fix the problem. A man on his first week as an employee of Caterpillar, fell into a vat of melted iron ore and was immediately incinerated. “Investigators with OSHA found that the foundry regularly exposed employees to unprotected fall hazards as they worked close to deep containers of molten iron.” And before that another employee died after falling 20ft into a collapsed floor. And another recently died from falling into an industrial shredder. They fined them $150,000 and that was that. The company offered “thoughts and prayers “ blah blah blah. Funny though that not a penny of the fine will go to the man’s family. a billion dollar company)

[@AbsolutelyCasual]

I feel for you guys, I worked at a place in Muskegon Michigan called alloy recourse Corp that is an aluminum foundry, extremely hot, dirty and dangerous year round, pouring lava into molds, swinging sledgehammer to break molds free all day, head to toe PPE that makes the heat even worse and it's 7am-7pm 7 days a week year round, I don't even recall getting Christmas and thanksgiving off, I worked there for over a year until the point I was finally so exhausted I started sleeping through my alarm and they fired me

Cause they are the one's that accepted it. Frito Lay wanted to eliminate the "suicide shifts " they said no.

[@TLRing]

People everywhere in every state needs to boycott from lay and all their products. But that would be asking too much from the American people.

[@dereckvineyard5792]

I agree but people need to be aware of all the products that fall under the Pepsi/frito lay umbrella. It’s a lot. Gatorade, Bang, Rockstar, Naked, Starbucks, Taco Bell, life water, etc

[@Thomasfoolery69]

I remember when i worked for pepsi my boss saw a guy dropp a stack of those long blue plastic pallets on my head and knocked me out, watched it happen and didnt write it up because we had a saftey lunch coming. Then before an audit they made me clean the chemical spillover pallet, which had no sop, and some chemical got in my boot and melted my foot, they still made me come in work light duty and then bullied me into calling that worksafe line and relenquished any responsibility pepsi had. The on site nurse had to convince them to let her treat my wound because they didnt want it on paper

[@leelindsay5618]

40 hr work week is being threatened by the lack of unionsand anti-union work places. People think a 40 hr work week is "normal" but can't imagine what life would be like with no weekend. These things like weekend and 40 hr work week were fought for by unions and people died to achieve them. Nothing is given when the people at the top are not held accountable.

@@Powdermonkey99 missing the point of what I said. Misleading claims aside, 84 hour work weeks with no time off is a raw deal to say the least

I work at a non union frito lay plant, great place to work. Sounds to me like they should have dumped their union about 10 years ago! Doesn't sound like they have done anything for their members except suck up those union dues. How does it get this bad? Unions are not the end all be all..... These people saying they worked 84 hrs a week for months are full of it. Even at my non union plant the max they can force you is 19 days. A lot of Propaganda in this video if you ask me. Dump that union, they are the ones ripping you off, not frito. I've worked at frito for 5 years and over those 5 years I have received over 5 dollars an hr in yearly raises. Idk what yall have going on out there

I worked for Pepsi. PepsiCo owns Frito Lay. They work employees the same way. I got penalized for leaving when my father passed away, for going to my aunts funeral, when my wife went into labor. Also worked 6 months without time off. When my son was born, I took 2 weeks off. When I returned to work my manager had created an ungodly mess for me to clean up in my work area as retaliation. Best day of my life was when I gave those pricks my notice🎉

This is why unions are a thing, don't let some corporate apologist tell you otherwise.

[@sotired2789]

They do this to the Rsr's/Rsa's too and it's just getting worse. The gentleman at 35 seconds said it perfectly about consistent long shifts and drive time. On top of that no real time to take proper care of yourself or see your family. Although we don't have it as bad as the factory workers, it's rough. You come home exhausted, with little desire to do much of anything, realizing you have to do it all over again the next day. 10 to 14 hr days and they want to keep adding stores to routes. They know what that means but don't care. Just get it done or we'll find someone else. We are on the road exhausted like this in often unsafe vehicles. If you bring up safety issues you are mocked and met with aggression. Just do it or we'll find someone who will. This company will never learn. Nothing shakes them.
