"The fight is never about grapes or lettuce. It is always about people." Cesar Chavez |
:: Sunday, May 11, 2003 ::
AlterNet: The GOP's Great Mother's Day Prank Under the Family Time Flexibility Act, an employer can decide to reimburse you for overtime with compensatory (comp) time, rather than with pay. So, if you work eight extra hours, your boss can give you 12 hours of comp time - which you can use or cash out sometime in the next 13 months, at the employer's convenience.
So what's wrong with such flexibility?
Plenty. "This bill," says John Sweeney, president of the AFL-CIO, "is about giving more flexibility to employers - not employees." Employers, in short, get to decide when you work overtime and when you get to use your banked time. Jan Howe, a union member in San Ramon, agrees with Sweeney. She's "seen how nasty my employer can be in intimidating my co-workers to work overtime."------------------------------------------- posted 8:18 AM :: reference link ::
