Fox News: Overtime Pay Is Just A 'Giveaway'

So that we're clear, let it be stated for the record that Fox News does not believe in overtime pay or a minimum wage because workers are just a bunch of leeches who are always wanting more.

Except Fox News also thinks people who don't work are leeches too, so I guess that means Fox News just prefers indentured servitude or something worse. I'm sure they think we never had it so good than when employees were working 60-hour weeks with no overtime, because they're going after President Obama's new initiatives with a vengeance.

how can these people watch a network that hate them?

most surveys show that higher income, higher education people are progressive. Hence, most of fox news audience are the most affected by repug policies against the middle class and the poor.

They put you on that and made sure you put in something like 55 or 60 hours a week. Good paycheck but it wasn't worth. The so-called union men at that place were a disgrace. They could have stopped it but were a bunch of spineless, slack jawed wusses.

Another boss was fair about it. If he didn't do so well on bidding a job, I had the option of getting more hours straight time or letting one of the guys that wouldn't be on OT have it. If he did real well bidding, he didn't care that we were all over 40 hours.
