[QUOTE="Socrates, post: 4435644, member: 36964"] I would think rioting in the streets and the complete break-down of society would be considered 'a last resort'. Your original objection was to people budgeting for 45 hours - let's not stray from that. Why did you not explain why a worker should simultaneously EXPECT to work 45-50 hours - as we all know from the first DAY we start driving - but not budget for that? I think we all deserve an explanation that goes beyond mumbling about 'gravy'. When hours get cut, your cushioning gets cut. How would you like it if someone removed all the airbags in your car and told you "if you drove safely, you wouldn't need to worry about airbags"? Some people enjoy their overtime, not so they can rush out buy fancy toys, but so they can 'buy' themselves more days off, or invest more, or retire sooner. Working four 10s pays much better than working five 8s. If you don't think UPS can afford Hazard Pay, then say so. Make the argument. Just be aware that the BOTH of us know you will be lying if you take that position, and I will happily expose you and anyone who agrees with you. And I'll do it while remaining a right-leaning Capitalist who despises Left-Authoritarian ideology. [/QUOTE]
