Its MINIMUM wage for a reason. If you work for minimum wage you should expect to be able to afford the minimum required essentials to live.

Also put in a squirt bottle (like the kind at diners for ketchup & mustard) for more precision drawing.

Yeah it was overtime those days. I was working the 4 hour shift schedule

does this extend to every industry?

It need to be higher than 15 bucks for people to be able to live.

Yes, it's people with m-f jobs that are. Retail isn't, industry isn't, Amazon is 4 on 3 off for people who are above a floor associate, most logistics companies aren't.....

I think that person (and I) would argue Saturday should be OT too.

If you work both those days which would be your weekend, I’d say it should be 1.5 for one of them at minimum. The reason for Sunday is, too me, basically the same as why 3rd shift people get payed a little more. Incentive, most do not want to work it

They should create another schedule of increases like they did before. It gradually went up to $15 and now they should target $20 It lets businesses plan for increase year over year that way.

I went through this in the reverse. MA flagged me for a GA violation. I had never been to GA and was fully licensed in CA.

I had to get a "Not Same As" letter because they confused me with someone else who had info nearly identical to mine. It took me about a month of phone calls to get the letter. You might get redirected to courts and police but MA RMV owes you that letter.

Try getting a hold of someone in the points / violations division. They should have basic info on the person you're probably getting confused with.

TIL saturday isn't the weekend

A major factor is partisan divide within unions themselves. Many unions used to have more negotiating power when they could rely on swift and solid action by the vast majority of their members. Back in the day, if a union needed something from a politician and didn’t get it, there were genuine repercussions at the voting booth. But if they’re all gonna vote either red or blue for other reasons anyway, no repercussions = no accountability for lack of meaningful support.

MA and RI were the only two states that required a premium for Sunday, but RI's is just 25% where MA's was 50%. RI's min wage is $13.

We are the only two states that require a premium for holidays, and that continues. Noted is that most companies pay premiums for holidays anyway to keep employees. Sometimes the need for employees can be a factor in what one receives.

It's a weekend for only one segment of the population. My last weekends were Thursday, fri,sat.

I just looked. RI and MA were the only two states that requires a premium for Sunday. Now just RI. RI's minimum wage is $13 an hour. It was only two states that had the blue laws. RI's is 25% where MA's was 50%.

It also says Holiday pay premium is also only required in MA and RI. It does say that most companies pay holiday pay anyway to keep employees. That is the best way to do it, and may be the case in MA with Sunday.

Why should? It's absolutely no different than any other day.

Later addition: sunday isn't a normal day off for a shit load of people and nothing special for non-christains beside a vague childhood memory of knowing school was coming.

Now we have nothing left to compromise to get to a 2023 wage now that we've achieved a 2012 wage

It’s also in part to the new family medical leave act.

It was a political compromise.

Should be double time on Sundays so don't work Sundays unless it is.

Most kids just want to sit on the iPad
