it looks like someone forgot it’s Organized Union Labor Day. it celebrates the workers, stahler. not unemployment politics day. from the folks that changed the 6-1/2 day work week and brought the 40 hour week, with overtime pay.
Maybe you should look at the laws passed by the previous administration that weakened unions. How about the one that says an employer need not pay overtime if the employee has a degree or has taken training for his/her job? A medical tech I knew said he was being worked 70 hours a week with no overtime pay because his employer chose to use that exemption under the law. He was forced to call in sick to get a day off. We need unions and strong ones.
