Re: tell WALMART TO RESPECT ITS WORKERS
To put any doubts to rest here are some facts. <br />I am not now or have i ever been a union worker.<br />I am infuriated by the "union" mentality. It's similar to the welfare mentality, "Because I am entitled to it!"<br />Overtime is any hours worked in excess of 40 in any one calendar week. And overtime pay is equal to not less than 1 1/2 times the normal hourly wage.<br />Some major corporations cheat employees out of overtime pay, namely AutoZone. I know this because the local store manager told me they don't pay overtime. This is in addition to a friend who worked there and told me the same.<br />If you work on the cash register, you can bust your butt, ot slack off and you have no ability to complete your 8 hours work load in any less than 8 hours, but if you are forced to stay another two hours, you won't accomplish anymore than 2 hours work in that time.<br />Companies are entitled to schedule employees for any length shift they need. But four 12 hour shifts are still subject to O/T laws.<br />Before a company can be compelled to obey the laws, someone must complain.<br />Not all communities are like your little corner of the world. Accept it, get over it and stop putting down those who don't hav eth esame opportunities as you do.<br />Everyone has the potential to be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corporation. Not everyone can be the CEO of a multi-billion dollar corp. If they could who would ask, "Would you like fries with that?"<br />My parents were very poor when I was growing up, so I had very few priveledges that I did not work for myself.<br />I graduated high-school, never attended college, and have been a mechanic for over 10 years. <br />I worked several menial jobs before that, at or slightly above minimum wage. I was mistreated at most of those jobs, but in my communitiy, you put up with it, because there weren't many jobs available.<br /><br />These are facts. Indisputable facts. So now all you self-righteous people with the better-than-thou attitudes can get over yourselves and realize that life is not identical for everyone as it is for you. Just because someone doesn't have a skill, a trade, or an education DOES NOT mean that these people should or can be mistreated. Unfortunately companies, with more power than the employee, do take advantage of the unskilled laborers.
