The bill would also end the requirement that employees who work seven days in a row receive overtime pay.

    And that is why it is so important to have unions that have teeth. If the workers were to unite and go on strike all at once, like in France, these kinds of bills would never pass.

      Solidarity strikes are illegal in North America.

          It is when you have a mortgage, kids, and debt to account for sadly.

          I’m not telling you that people shouldn’t do it because it’s illegal, I’m telling you that people won’t/can’t due to the inherent repercussions.
