Worked here and it was the worst place ever. Totally shady. In addition to sending us non-union workers to Union job sites and telling us to lie about it, when I took fmla for my baby and then later a vacation they fired me. They filed it as me quitting to unemployment. They shadily decided to use my FMLA instead of my hard-earned vacation time and informed me of this just days prior to my leaving for vacation and then terminated me and also removed my position from the branch location altogether.
