I was dealing in stereotypes, and you know that just as well as I do."...Interesting. I guess all the business owners are Republicans and the worker bees are all Democrats. I can name some billionaire business owners that are Democrats, and they didn't get there working a 40 hour week. In fact, the biggest asshole I ever worked for was a New York Democrat!"
And if the employee doesn't "voluntarily choose" what his bosses want?
The boss goes to the employee that "voluntarily wants". Use some critical thinking, dude. When the boss is willing to pay overtime, there will be those that will always volunteer.
Yeah, the employee had better "volunteer" if he wants to keep his wage slave job.
Actually, he's advocating for choice, i.e., freedom.
I already work 7 days a week between my two jobs.. If it were for the mandatory Overtime laws, I would be able to work 7 days a week at one job and actually get more sleep and make more money than what I am making now.

You work 7 days a week between your TWO jobs?
Me? I would work 7 days a week (in some cases for up to 3 weeks) while deployed onboard a U.S. Navy vessel at my ONE job.
And yeah...................you can be called up at any moment to come back to the ship, but the military says that you get 30 days off per year in the form of leave. That works out to 1 day off out of every 12 (30 days equals 1 month, there are 12 months in a year).
And......................fwiw..................you CANNOT receive overtime in the military.
Matter of fact, when I went on what is called retirement leave (I'd saved up 72 days and took the last 2 1/2 months of my enlistment off in leave), I was even called back to help out because of something that had occurred at the MEPS (the last classifier we had tried to commit suicide). I told my command that even though I understood they were in a bad situation, so was I, because I'd already sold back 60 days prior to going on leave (you can only sell back 60 days/career in the military), and there was no way I could get paid for the time I'd end up investing.
Well.......................we finally came upon a deal...................I could show up in civilian clothes to classify the applicants, got to show up around 10:00 am, and would leave as soon as the last applicant was classified, and would only show up for the next 3 days, because I already had things planned that I wanted to do.
3 days later, NRD San Antonio sent up a classifier, I wore civilian clothes, didn't have to shave the goatee I was growing, and only had to be there for around 4 hours per day.
No................having to work 7 days per week is a bad idea, and if that GOP idiot thinks it's a good one, then why has Congress and the Senate only worked about 1 out of every 3 days in 2013?
If he wants everyone to be able to work 7 days a week, maybe he should prove his leadership as a politician and start working that much himself.
The military doesn't bitch about it, I never did, so why should politicians be different?

Wow you're so special. All that work and all the free gay sex you'd want.
So you support the move in WI to eliminate mandatory weekend breaks, right?

Nice..................
You've got no reply, so you decide to go with the stereotypes that you think would piss me off.
Sorry.................not gonna bite.
I support a 40 hour week for those in the civilian sector, with the caveat (meaning exception) that if they work more than 40 hours, they should be paid time and a half for their efforts.
I mean....................c'mon you corporate types, it's only 16 hours over what they normally do (and yes, for those who work 60 to 80 plus hours a week, anything over 40 should be paid as time and a half for you as well).
I also believe that the minimum wage should be at least 10.00/hour, if not 15.
Why? Simple.................if you pay someone a bit more than what they budgeted for (i.e. 7.50 versus 10.00 or 15.00 per hour), they have more money to do things with rather than pay rent and groceries.
They may have enough money to go to the movies (which cost around 15.00/person), or even may have enough to check out that new food place that just opened up.
If more people have more money, they can buy more things and help with the economy.
I mean..................if you don't believe that, then check out what Ford paid his workers.
He not only wanted them to live, but he wanted them to have enough money to buy his cars.
The GOP lies quite a bit about minimum wage.

You would have looked less foolish if you'd simply conceded defeat.
