[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Zenkitty, I'm in an oddly good mood, too.

le n, best of luck! You are gonna rock it.

just the fact that the posting keeps getting revised makes me think that these folks don't have it together-

It was making me think that they kept getting crappy applicants, like how I tweak my dating profile after each breakup.

and the fact that they want up to 16 hours of your day, six days a week, no flexibility and not a lot of pay... that's not cool.

Well, I'd be making more than I ever have, mostly due to long hours.

I think that you have been hanging out with Mr. Crazy Doctor Hours too long to even be considering this job!

Heh.

I may apply, just so I can put it on my unemployment job log. But yeah, I think I'm too old for that shit.

smonster, I'd be surprised if they weren't breaking state law by saying they required 16 hours per day. I'm pretty sure in Wisconsin, they can't make you work more than 12 and that's 4 hours of overtime on an 8 hour day. I know WI employers can get in trouble for letting their workers work more than 12. Overtime is a choice, and even then, there are legal limits. I'm not sure if LA has the same kind or worker protections in place, though.

In my experience the southern US states are not known for their worker protection laws. In Georgia, for example, unionization is against the law.

AFAIK, federal law doesn't limit the number of hours, but does require overtime be paid.

Georgia is one of the least unionized states in the country, but unionization is legal. It's just very difficult, because Georgia has a strict right-to-work law.

I don't really understand the concept of right-to-work law. I don't think I've worked (as a civilian) in a state that had one. How does it restrict unionization?

Workers can't be compelled to join a union, pay union dues or join a strike, and union membership can't be required as a condition of employment

It's more that it's part of a suite of laws exemplifying a "pro-business" attitude.
