THE WORST COMPANY TO WORK FOR. I was fired for using sick time during a pandemic! I received my 2nd dose of the Pfizer vaccine as it was required by the company. As a result I developed a fever right after- because I had a fever I was told I wasnt allowed back into the building until I had a negative Covid test result. The next day I took a rapid test & thankfully it was negative and I returned to work right after. Two months after that incident I received a call and email from the Department of Education stating my 10 year old son was exposed to Covid and had to quarantine for 10 days. Unfortunately I had to take time off to arrange child care for those days. I was told because I was on probation it will be held against me. I knew immediately this was illegal based on the NYS Paid Safe/ Sick Leave- when I asked management about this laws they stated that law does not apply to us. I contacted the Dpt. Of Labor who ran an investigation and confirmed this indeed was wrong information and illegal. When 1199 found out I reached out to Dpt. Of labor they shortly terminated me based on performance. I reached out to the DOL again who did another investigation and confirmed the reason for termination was due to the sick time I took. This company lacks the integrity, mission and values it claims to have. What was done was wrong, cruel and illegal. I was asked if I wanted my position reinstated but I refused- I wouldnt work there even if they doubled my salary.
At the door down stairs one young security gard I was early at 9:00 and told to come back at my time so I was out side for 45min then waiting to go back in but upstairs was better there is was someone not to friendly but other then that good
Im correcting a horrible review I previously wrote. I owe 1199 a huge apology. I had a big mix up where I thought they had completely forgotten to process my paperwork. I accused them of not taking care of things and I just found out it wasnt true. I jumped to conclusions and they deserve much more than that. They did a wonderful job when I thought they didnt. Very long story but a little patience and understanding and better communication helps a lot of situations. It wasnt their fault. They are a good union. Sorry for judging you wrong 1199.
Unfortunately the hiring department is still closed.
