racer254 Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I love the title, designed to deceive....AGAIN. If you show up, you get paid The report explains that the plant has a 56-hour workweek that includes 16 hours of overtime in which workers get paid time-and-a-half. Workers who attended the president’s speech would qualify to get time-and-a-half if they worked on Friday, while workers who did not attend the speech would not, even though both groups of workers did not do work at the plant on Tuesday.

Legend Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Even if this were true as the title suggests, how is it any different then unions using dues or pressuring to give extra to the democrat funds? And dont tell me its BS, I worked in the trades and was a member. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
