[Vision2020] Right to Work

[Kai Eiselein, LatahEagle Editor]

Umm Tom you are wrong again. Federal law mandates overtime pay. 1 and 1/2
times your regular rate after 40 hours.
Furthermore, most companies recognize good employees and tend to try to keep
them. They generally don't try to get rid of an employee without reason and
documentation. Unions just force employers to keep underperforming employees
at the expense of the product and the other employees. Just try to fire a
union employee for shoddy work.
I know I had to keep records of every "incedent" of those I supervised. They
were counseled and warned repeatedly, before being terminated. Except for
the one that put a knife to my back and said "I could shove this blade right
into your heart right now." He was fired on the spot.

  Another "benefit" associated with a "Right to Work" state (such as Idaho)
is the employer's right to terminate employment without reason.



  The absence of organized labor (pronounced "union") reflects a major lack
of protection for the employee.  The employer is then free to implement any
"company policy" that management deems appropriate (i.e. no paid over-time).



  So, before anybody submits a job application at the Wal-Mart Super Center
(whether it be located in Pullman or South Hill), take a long, hard look at
what you are getting into (talk with other employees and look into W-M's
health coverage, wage scales).  Find out what is happening at the "here and
now" and not with other shareholders of another company in another state at
another time.
