Hell yes
My union hired a law firm to represent me with my health insurance over a pre approved procedure that they then refused to pay.
Staff say Dell’s return to office mandate is a stealth layoff, especially for women
Dell’s “return to office” mandate has left employees confused about which offices they can use and the future of their jobs – and concerned the initiative is a stealth layoff program that will disproportionately harm women at the IT giant.

@Lazarou Remember the Tories Brexit ad where ballet dancers were retraining as plumbers or somesuch? The Tories [and probably Labour] don’t want anyone to have imagination, creativity or recreation. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy as my parents used to say. I would paraphrase that to ‘all work and no play makes everyone very rebellious and angry. We need creativity and imagination to be full and decent useful empathetic human beings.

Well, fuck. I guess it’s time to boycott TJs. They’re the only one on that list I still support.
I feel as if this should be getting 24/7 news covwrage.
I just happened across this bill introduced in Kentucky.
For example, a landscaping employee, pizza delivery worker or HVAC installer traveling between job locations would not have to be paid minimum wage for that travel time under this change. Similarly, a firefighter or a person who works in a paint shop at a factory would not have to be paid minimum wage when they are putting on or off their equipment and helmets, nor would a bus driver doing safety checks before picking up kids from school. Employers could pay them as little as a penny per hour for this work with no legal repercussions.
Repeals the requirement that employees who work seven days in a row receive time-and-a-half overtime pay.
Repeals the requirement that employers provide a rest break. Currently, employers must provide at least a 10-minute rest break for each four hours of work, in addition to a scheduled lunch period. HB 500 takes away that right.
And this gem…
Repeals the requirement that employers provide a lunch break. Currently, businesses must provide a lunch break every three to five hours, but that right would be eliminated under HB 500. Instead, HB 500 says only that a worker required to keep working without a lunch break can’t be denied pay if they juggle eating something while on the job. However, if the employer does provide a lunch break and they discover a worker eating at another time while on the clock, they will not be required to pay them for that time — even a worker who needs a snack for medical reasons.
