How Many Jobs to Make Ends Meet?
- Share via
Your article on flextime eroding the eight-hour work day (A Shake-Up- in Labor Law,” March 28) was very interesting, but your focus was wrong.
Your concern was that people on 40-hour or less work weeks won’t be paid overtime. My concern is with full-time jobs at much lower wages than they had earned. With the erosion of the eight-hour day, these people can easily find themselves working two part-time jobs of 12 hours a day each at today’s reduced wages just to make ends meet.
Shades of worker exploitation. Talk about advancing rapidly backwards.
