I had no idea how widespread the practice was. I truly thank the President for changing this. The question is what did he know and when did he know it?
Are there other similar situations wqhere he could make an executive order and rid the nation of these wage injustices? If you know of anymore, please reveal them so we can help be a catalyst for change. It seems to me that the wage at which one could be considered a supervisor and ineligible is awfully close to poverty and in many places represents poverty. Anything for business seems to have been the motto of the country for way too long.
Yes, this was a crime, but for businesses and corporations crimes go unpunished because they all do it and we citizens refuse to stop it.
