With the possible exception of some seasonal hires, none of the rank-and-file employees at these stores knew, or could have reasonably anticipated that they would be asked to work these ridiculous hours — probably under threat of termination and most likely at their regular wages.
Can anyone explain to me how the majority of entry- and mid-level white-collar workers were hoodwinked in to accepting "salary" compensation, rather than hourly compensation?
They claim is that the workers have helped shape and define the job, its responsibilities and reward, etc., and as a result they have a legitimate claim to it.You can certainly interpret this argument as a form of homesteading and at a glance it is compelling. Is it valid though?
