The employees in question were paid $18,000 a year for a 54-hour week.Here's a unique idea; if you think that you are being screwed and are worth more than minimum wage, QUIT AND FIND A NEW JOB! Don't just bitch about this one and try to force the owner to pay you more than you are worth. (Which would be practically nothing since you could be replaced in an hour.)

Ah, but the beauty of this is that this group is trying to force everyone ELSE to pay people more than they're worth.

It sounds like it was an issue of forced overtime - they wanted one weekend off per month.
The economy would have to be at Depression levels of unemployment before I'd work under those conditions - as long as there ARE jobs, *I* will have one. It might not be a job I like, or a job that pays as much as I want, but I'll always find something to do to make a living.

Too true, but I still like seeing whackos getting slammed by their own whacky ways. As is usually the case with these socialists, it is yet another one of those 'do as I say, not as I do' things.
