It's not FAIR!!
[A single mom should know if her hours are being canceled before she arranges for daycare and drives halfway across town to show up at work.]
Would that also apply to a single dad?
I have heard of this “going to work and told to go home”, but I wonder how much of a problem it is that the government must get involved. I bet it is very minimum.
So now they are against flex time?
Some people get paid more for being oncall or oncall is a requirement of the job.
This will “help” the economy ..... That extra push off the cliff...
The Dems’ latest War on Women trap.
The idiots in congress completely ignore the constitution.
>>[A single mom should know if her hours are being canceled before she arranges for daycare and drives halfway across town to show up at work.]<<
And this should be a crime against the people of the United States of America that is prosecuted at the federal level?
My god, what has become of the home of the free?
Maybe single moms should have made the biggest consideration of all and asked themselves this question, "Is this person worth my eggs and do my future children deserve better?"
Nah, that'd be asking too much of them.
Employees should not be required to report for the job on terms dictated by the employer. That might be inconvenient for the employee. Its racist. Employees should report to work whenever the impulse motivates them. They may have more important things to do. The role of employers is to provide a steady job with great pay and gold plated benefits. Why else would we need employers? Are they stupid?
“basic fairness”
From a career politician who faked her ethnicity to get ahead
The solution will be more automation, jobs pushed out of the US, businesses closing. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.
Count the strawmen. This presumes a) her hours could be cancelled, b) she has to put her child in day care and c) she has to drive halfway across town.
a) The only jobs I know when your work shift could be cancelled is in food service or possibly some sales. I don't know of many professions this happens and certainly whether it happens often enough to be a problem. The correct solution is "find a better job".
b) This presumes there are no parents, grandparents, neighbors or boyfriends who can take the child for the day. I know plenty of mothers who don't put their children in day care because they don't feel they are safe or well-administered. You'll almost always get better results with a caring family member.
In additions, may jobs now have on-site child care facilities so the correct solution should be "find a better job."
c) Who told you to take a job on the other side of town adding hours of commute time that could be better spent with your children? Particularly if the work is as common as food service or sales (see a) then there's a job on her own side of town that pays just as well and would reduce her commute time before going in. The correct solution is "find a better job".
But then, finally, she's probably a single mom because she didn't think carefully enough before having sex or not a good enough mate to hold onto the man who knocked her up. The correct solution for that is "find a better man".
So, seriously, why should the employer be hindered by this woman's poor choices? I'm afraid the employer's most like solution is "don't hire single moms". Thanks, Senator Warren, for putting up more roadblocks for working women.
We need more laws I tell you.
Be a valuable enough employee that your employer wouldn’t even consider doing that to you......quit whining if you’re not.
Ah yes, the Democrat busy-body know-it-alls sticking their noses where they do not belong concerning things they nothing about.
Government has done such a marvelous job that people are paralyzed with indecision because so many good jobs are available and pulling them in competing directions.
Amerikan Fascism.
Social activists + power of government = totalitarian state
They always start out with something that sounds reasonable but once it becomes law, then they drop the hammer. I wonder what kind of monster this becomes?
We are going to have to have revolution to get these people out of micromanaging every aspect of our lives. Nobody is saying NO to these totalitarians. Nobody is.
They are over-reaching to their own demise.
