This. I once got fired from a large department store (no names, but let’s say just they have an Archery theme) for a no-call, no-show on a Sunday. My previously posted schedule was changed on Thursday, the same day I left for a weekend vacation in California. HR told me “It was your responsibility to the check the…

Seattle is trying this already. Along with the $15/hr minimum wage. Will be an interesting test lab.

If a business owner hasn’t planned for these realities in the first place, why should workers be the one to be punished for that poor planning?

LOL, are you fucking kidding me? I have worked at several businesses where the schedule that starts on Friday has been posted on that Friday and employees were made aware that they were supposed to be working that day by phone call.

Hamilton sounds like you need a vacation. May i suggest coming up to Canada and visiting one of our many national Parks, It is Canadas 150th this year and all park admission is free. Perhaps take a trip out to Banff/Jasper, Banff being Canada’s first national park.

First off; this isn’t “punishing” anyone. It isn’t an act of retribution. That out of the way, the kind of shitty paying jobs that change schedules on the fly tend to hire people who have multiple shitty jobs and have a very hard time dealing with short term schedule changes.

The high turnover and volatility would be drastically reduced by these changes.

Fuck Canada!!!!!

Regulating scheduling practices is a recognition that workers are human beings and deserve not to live their lives constantly at the mercy of the changing scheduling whims of their low wage employers.

Fuck Canada!!!!!

So how long until the draft comes back?

So perfect!

Every day when I drive to work, I realize that one out of two people I see think it’s OK to be lied to by a low IQ, hypocritical sex monster who spends most of his days being a dick and putting ketchup on his meat. And that’s why I drink...

Putin already has.

8 in 10 people on the planet believe in a sky wizard. People are fucking stupid and we are about to find out why Germans in the 10 century thought fucking giants built the aqueducts. We’re going to knock ourselves back to the stone age any day now

I’ve become convinced that reality is broken.

Right, except that’s not the news or the point of mentioning the index. The reason it’s noted is the extremes (unseen in nearly 70 years) of the index. We don’t just seem more divided, we are, historically so.

Another alternative would be to invite the Fan from last week’s rally and his cardboard cutout.
