I am a former employee of Fiesta Salons, now owned by the Regis Corporation. Fiesta was a nice place to work until regis took over. I was "let go" at the beginning of Jan. 2010. I was told the salon had to make some cutbacks, and that my "service" was the lowest, so I had to go. Of course my "service" was the lowest, I was a part timer and worked the least amount of hours of anyone in the salon. I was a good employee, never called off, was never late, and worked extra when I could. I was told by my area supervisor that being a good employee meant nothing. I don't believe I was let go because of low "service".in August we were all asked to a meeting about "not unoinizing" salons. We were asked to sign a document titled "Protection of secret ballot" (read about it, New York times article, Aug 29th). Protection for whom? Regis I'd say. They said the document gave us the right to a secret ballot. What it really stated was that you revoke your right to a secret ballot. I was the only one from my salon who chose not to sign, and now I am the only one from my salon who doesn't have a job. Coincidence, I think not. Can I prove it? No. Not unless there are others from Fiesta who were let go and did not sign the document. There is alot more I could say about Regis and the way they treat their employees. To Regis and Fiesta I really just want to say thanks, you did me a favor by letting me go.
