I received an e mail from one of my contracts that I needed to be available to work 7 days a week from Nov 29th to Dev 31st. I am working my normal routine of 6 days a week. I will not work on Sunday.
Good for you! It's time to take a stand on these ridiculous demands. It's a pretty disturbing trend where corporate customers assume you will be available 24/7 with no thought to your views on the matter.
In Canada, labour law used to hold you to a 40 hour week which was considered full time hours. Now, they will give you 39 and a half hours to avoid full time benefits and demand you make yourself available evenings and weekends all for a minimum wage that puts you below the poverty line. No premiums for the off shifts and that is how they staff the stores for Christmas day. Something ain't right!
