Sherwin-Williams

Sherwin Williams runs their store as a sweatshop because they don't allow their employees to take lunch breaks or regular breaks even if you work 11 hours straight. I was working on a Saturday during one of their "Super Sales" and I could not even take a bathroom brake because I was the only employee at the store, which happens always after 3:00 pm. This one particular day I couldn't hold it anymore so I closed the store for 5 minutes while I went to the bathroom, a customer must have come and saw the store closed and called the main office and complained. Needless to say I got written up for closing the store without permission. The second time I closed the store to get something to eat because I was starving I was terminated. They know this is illegal but they keep doing it throughout all their stores because if you complain you get fired. I have initiated a claim with the department of labor and I'm just patiently waiting for my day of vindication. They need to know this is America, where "policy" is followed, and not China or a third world country where big corporations have no respect for the law.
