So something that happened 10 or 15 years ago is going to save your argument? We are talking about today.

Just proves my point that you’re full of crap.

Oh for heaven’s sake. From your link...

“I guess, basically, we are disappointed with the verdict. Wal-Mart has a strong policy of paying its associates for all the time they work,” said spokesman Bill Wertz. “We would emphasize that this ruling affects only approximately 350 workers out of 15,000 in Oregon.”

“It also said Wal-Mart reprimanded employees who claimed overtime. Workers felt forced to work after clocking out because managers assigned them more work than they could complete in a regular shift, the plaintiffs said.”

I’ve worked with these type of people, who are given a set amount of work, socialize half the day then want to claim overtime when their duties are not finished. Some lib judge ruled with them, big whoop.
