From http://www.patspapers.com/"It's the toughest run the US workforce has seen since the Great Depression. That's according to a front-page analysis of employment data in USA Today. Employed Americans are working an average of 33.1 hours a week. That's the lowest number since the government started tracking the statistic in 1964."
What is full time and what is part time? Is there some labor law that makes one employee part time and another full time? Is there a notion that if a person works less than 33 hours they are not consider as an employee. Who made these archaic laws that mean nothing today. 1930 labor laws are just that 1930 labor laws. Employees should be just employees whether they work 50 hours or 3 hours. Employees should receive all benefits law allows a 40 hour week employee gets for no other reason than corporate America is trying to screw their employees.
Walmart and the Ronald Reagan breaking the unions changed all the rules to benefit Corporate America.
An employer couldn't afford giving benefits to everyone who only works 3 hours a week, so he would have to let go of everyone except for the one person working 40-60 hours per week.
ReplyDeletePeople are still working full time here, but have been cut back to 4 day work weeks to save the company money so that the company can be closed for three days and only open for four days. That seems to be working to help curb costs around here.
We have tornado warnings. Bye
