Those that argue for work are the Small Business owners, that can't give what bigger companies can. They run manual labor jobs that if someone doesn't show up means more work for them. They don't want to be doing the labor part, they are working too hard getting the customers at the bars and golf courses. Remember they worked hard to start that business, their workers that work hard for them can be replaced with anyone else that needs cash.
There are some places of employment who have a "take leave as you need it" approach. From the business side, this limits their liabilities in the event they were purchased or if they terminate an employee. From the employee side, this can be a psychological mess where they don't ever take leave for fear of looking bad compared to their coworkers.
I don't disagree with this sentiment, but I think one thing that is overlooked making this kind of statement is the shift in the union/collective bargaining environment.
chrsmneric... you do realize the part you disagreed with was the part that was me quoting the post I was responding to right?
He said he wanted to get out of an extremely hazardous work atmosphere, not into one.Look into teaching
This is not true. There is no use it or lose it with vacation. If it goes unused they have to pay you. Most companies no longer allow carry over and if they do its a minimum.
Not to private business. Unless you want a socialist environment. Now they can mandate giving family time off without being discriminated about but they shouldn't force any business to pay an employee that doesn't work.
Yes they do. I got it with the company I worked for.
If this were true then why isn't everyone making minimum wage only ($9 per hour) in Nebraska?
