Good for you to stand up for your rights. That's what I am talking about. That is exactly why people get interrupted break times. It has nothing to do with unions. That mechanic place was full of balooney. I have had 4 different jobs, and the same rules apply for all of them.
Anyway, that is so pathetic with the ignorance still going on with some people. One thing I still get is, "do you drive?" when someone finds out that I am deaf in a job. People have to get to know me by talking to me to see if I am smarter than they think. For some reason, some think our deafness has a connection to our intelligence.
That manager is just another ignorant idiot. Probably have never been around people with deafness in his life. He's not concerned with accidents happening. He's just ignorant. He's afraid of what he doesn't know. You could just respond and say, "it's no rocket science to learn how to do stocking." BTW, all people need training at jobs, and I wouldn't be surprised to know that deaf people do a faster job because I am one myself. I don't pay attention to anyone to chat. It's hard to get your job done by paying attention to another worker chatting. Tell that ignorant manager that he is lucky to have someone who learns and stock fast.
There are many good managers who eventually get to know their deaf workers without judging and saying dumb remarks beforehand.
