PriceSmart members: you are NOT required to purchase a t-shirt
May 11, 2010
A number of PriceSmart members have contacted the union after being informed by store management they were required to purchase a PriceSmart t-shirt as part of their work wear.
The union contacted Overwaitea senior management, and Overwaitea senior management has confirmed to the union that union members are NOT required to purchase a PriceSmart t-shirt. It is entirely up to the union member if they wish to do so, and Overwaitea senior management advises the t-shirts are a "summer option" for the months of May - September only.
If your store management is insisting you buy a t-shirt, or if you have bought a t-shirt because store management said you must, please contact your Union Representative as soon as possible.
