'Buckle up, buckaroos!': Boss forces employee to clock out early to get paid less, tenacious employee busts out contract clearly stating he HAS to get paid for a full day regardless

Why is it that the people who do the most work never seem to get noticed? This is 1000% the definition of a toxic working environment, and yet there are still tons of managers and bosses out there who wholeheartedly follow that. As if your job is only to make them look good, and if you stop trying to make them look good then you're fired, but if you work harder to make them look good, then you can stay right there exactly where you are with no promotions or raises and definitely no acknowledgement of your hard work. The work force is changing these days and more and more places are putting their employees well-being first. But it's a slow change and unions are usually implemented to make sure greedy companies don't abuse their workers. 

So when a boss recently tried to pull a quick one on an union contracted-employee, you better believe he was not having it. As he posted to Reddit, he shared exactly what he said to his boss, even after the union had already explained it to him. Though the employee is known for being hard working and a good employee, one day he got in trouble for being on his phone. So his boss sent him home after only three hours of his shift. His boss tried to only pay him for those three hours, but the employee made sure he was going to get his money. His union contract clearly states that if he is sent home by the boss, then he still gets paid for the full day, regardless. 

The tenacious employee isn't standing down and other Redditors' are cheering him on—some even share their own stories of struggling with toxic employment. Check it out below!
