Employers can't afford higher wages?
Not so. At least where I work.
There seems to be a policy of unlimited overtime.
The mexican workers just sit around after the shift is over and the supervisor will find something for them to do even though we have little or no work to do.
One woman comes in 4 hours before her 3rd shift starts and the supervisor puts her to work.
Now this sounds like a great deal but they have refused to pay higher hourly wages and explaining it by saying "see here you can have as much overtime as you want."
This happens even though they send folks home for lack of work.
Well for one thing I do well over my share of work in 40 hours and don't like the place well enough to live there.Maybe this sounds like I'm bragging but every night someone asks how many have you done and its always more than anyone else.BTW this is piece work with no incentives.
