Employees Working a Little Harder for the Weekend
I think there is a lot of truth to the song by Loverboy. I think most of us go to work each day just so we can enjoy the weekend. Fortunately, most of our employers don’t require us to work through our lunch or rest breaks. I say “most” because there are a few employers who continue to abuse the system and require employees to work through their breaks. Hopefully, the settlement reached between Walmart and some of its employees will send a message to these companies that this treatment won’t be tolerated. If they decided not to listen, then I’m sure we will be reading about them in the paper shortly.
