    workers’ rights are a joke! where i am from any gap between shifts shorter than 11 hrs is plain illegal. As it should be - seriously: unionize! It is your life they are wasting

      I worked for a movie theater for a while, and once I got off at around 3 am and had to be in the next day at 8 am.

      I routinely clocked more than 40 hours a week, once making it to 100 - but they didn’t have to pay OT because it’s the “performance industry.” Despite me being a hourly projectionist.

      Oh we are, but my state level government is doing everything they can to disband our union.

      Sadly, its better than what I had before.

      Be well!
