Rove Pest Control Bargaining Report #36
September 10th 2024
In this latest round of negotiations, the company continues to astound with their creative approach to the truth. Every blatant inconsistency in their proposals can conveniently be chalked up to "typos" We’re told to disregard these “minor” errors, but funny how these “typos”
seem to benefit them and not us.
We’ve spent more time fixing "typos" than negotiating real terms. At this point, we’re starting to wonder if we need a grammar teacher at the table instead of legal counsel. Despite the company’s creative writing, we remain focused on holding them accountable for every word—whether it's a so-called typo or another attempt to sugarcoat a blatant lie.
As if the situation couldn’t get more absurd, they’re demanding that anyone working from home must have homeowner’s insurance. Yes, because clearly, the real risk of remote work is your office spontaneously combusting while you’re answering pest concerns. They seem to believe that in the comfort of our homes, we’re running black-market businesses or hosting parties during lunch breaks. The idea that we need insurance for simply sitting at our home computer is just another bureaucratic hoop they want us to jump through.

ROVE PEST CONTROL
BARGAINING REPORT #31
July 22nd 2024
In yet another baffling chapter of our negotiations, the company has decided that working from home requires employees to obtain home insurance, even when using our own equipment. Yes, it seems they believe our pc’s and coffee makers are potential hazards needing comprehensive coverage. This requirement is as ridiculous as it sounds – essentially turning our homes into mini-corporate offices with all the red tape and none of the perks.
Last Thursday, the CWA 7250 team rallied in full force for around our Rove location. With chants louder than a boardroom full of bad ideas, we took to the parking lot to demand fair treatment and decent wages. Armed with signs, spirit, and a sense of solidarity, we turned an ordinary day into a powerful statement against the company's relentless exploitation.
