Would be nice to get a full story though, you're telling me that unionized Fritolay employees are
(1) Working 5 months straight - no days off... meaning, no weekends, no holidays, or paid time off?
(2) Working overtime all the time.
So just simple estimation of working 7 days - and lets say they are working 10 hour days for overtime equals 70 hour+ weeks of working? And not getting overtime for it?
Only one side has spoken thus far, and it's likely an initial exaggerated claim - especially since.... they are unionized lol. I'm pretty sure Rule#1 for unionization is "Overtime must be paid" lol.
1) Do you have a comprehension problem?
2) You must have a comprehension problem.
Thanks for showing us just how stupid you really are: Nowhere did was it said they where not being paid overtime. What was said is they are being forced to work overtime and work 7 days a week without any days off. A union contract doesn't have to state overtime (hours worked over 40 hours per week) has to be paid, as it's federal law. No Union contract can take away your legal rights under the law. There is no laws in the United states that requires time off. (this actually needs to change)
Most Unions are only as strong as it's members. Almost all union contracts (collective bargaining agreement) have clauses for forced overtime, not all have limitations in those clauses. Also, Union contracts are to protect the worker and give them legal avenues that idiots like you don't have to protect their jobs, or avenues they can pursue mistreatment, or violations of the contract. It doesn't necessarily mean companies won't violate the terms in the contract, specially since contract violations don't generally carry and criminal penalties unless those violations break state/federal laws. If there is nothing in the contract to protect them from such mistreatment, their only recourse is to negotiate changes in a new contract. Contracts are also different from state to state because of state laws. Of course, we are talking about a Republican state, and we know that Republican's are not for the working man or unions.
