My fiancé got a new job and they scheduled him to work two double shifts (16 hrs each) and a single shift (8 hrs) between Fri – Sun, with only 8 hours between shifts. That equates to him working his full 40 hrs for the week in a 56 hour timeframe, from the beginning of his first shift to the end of his last shift.

I've worked in Labor and Employee Relations for almost a decade now. This subreddit has been a Hotspot for the past year now for potential labor mobilization. How effective it's been is yet to truly be seen with its high highs and low lows. I love seeing the amount of engagement this sub brings to Industrial Relations especially in the US and Western Society. My reason for finally reaching out is this; in January I was asked to help research why Union Leaders in the US have been leaving/ineffective in modern times. The method of study is through interviews with former union leadership and this research began pre-Great Resignation/COVID. Now we're seeing a shift in union mobilization efforts for…
