Make it illegal for salary to be overtime exempt. Work 70hrs and paid for 40 should be considered slavery and illegal.

Created by M.W. on December 16, 2012

Salary workers who work 70 hours a week and are only paid for 40 hours. Salary workers who are expected to run a business and be paid salary only and never compensated for additional overtime hours. Salary workers who are expected to work so much overtime by district management or upper management they have no time for school to get a better education to find a better job. Salary workers who at the end of the year calculate hours worked versus hours paid and discover they were only paid $3.25 an hour. This is the way it is in Tennessee. I do not know about everywhere else in the U.S.A. Slavery is still legal, it is called salary now.
