Dollar General workers from across the country will be rallying at Peay Park on May 25 near its headquarters in Goodlettsville, Tennessee, during the company’s 2022 annual shareholders’ meeting. After years of being ignored, Dollar General workers are making their voices heard—by the retail chain’s executives, shareholders, and the public. Gundel, in an interview with The Progressive, describes the “horrible working conditions” that existed when she started working for Dollar General , such as mold in the cooler and a broken air conditioner when it was hot outside. Whenever she filed complaints with the company to make repairs, such as for a broken door, she heard the familiar phrase Dollar General employees have become accustomed to: “Put in a ticket.” The phrase has become synonymous with workers being brushed aside and their grievances ignored.
