Workers at Shell plant told they would not get paid unless they attended Trump's speech


Recommended Posts

What don’t you guys understand about this statement-

In a memo to union employees obtained by the Post-Gazette, Shell informed workers that their “attendance is not mandatory,” but said that if they did not attend the rally, they would have to take a day off without getting paid

Should they get paid time and a half to stay home then?

Answer should be no.

LOL, you are such a tool.  Read this and understand that they are not getting paid if they don't come to work.  Just like any normal company.  They get overtime on friday if they come in on tuesday, if not, then they just get regular time.  This is what happens if you work more than 40 hours no matter if trump is there or not.

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.

So if one attends rally they will get paid to work even thou they are not working.

Those who stay home that day ( they are not working ) will not get paid. 

Why is this a problem?

It's not.  It has happened where I work as well.  A Wisconsin democrat came and gave a speech.  We got paid no matter if we went to the speech or worked.  But the TDS effects people in different ways.

No.  You are a fucking idiot.  Your rags of “news” take bits a pieces of context and put them together so you and idiots just like you bite hard.

You’ve been this fucking ignorant your whole life.

You can try to explain this in any way to try and fit your little narrative, but like most workers, if you don't go to work you don't get paid.  It just so happens that trump will be there.  FFS, maybe you need to look into paid protestors, rather than paid employees.

And another story. Maybe you can comprehend this one.

Hey you stupid fucking moron.  It was clear what the message was.  You posting another “story” that picks the parts you like then twists the narratives don’t make you little act real.  It just makes you dumber. How that is possible....I don’t know.

Trump shouldn’t have done this. It shows low class politicking. But lies and bullshit don’t phase him or his supporters. 

LOL Giving a speech is low class?

Tell the democrats this.  They have been doing worse then this for years.  I like how you believe only one side should be held to a higher standard, funny but it is never the side you seem to vote for.

You support farm welfare.
