We should be entitled for the value/work that we create, it doesn’t make sense that those at the top gets to hoard most of the wealth.

Excerpt: “We looked mainly at professions where people have heavy workloads and you have much less autonomy, such as nursing assistants, office cleaners, childcare workers, and other personal care workers,” he said. “You cannot sit. You have somebody relying on you. It's not all pleasure, and it can be very hard. That's where we find the associations.”

If you don’t see it, this is a business owner trying to explain away not properly paying someone as well as not pay overtime. They are about to lose all of their employees.

Looking at you Paddy Power you don’t even “interview” anyone you just record yourself in front of a camera and the video gets sent to the employer lol. Kinda glad I didn’t get accepted because i’ve heard working in the bookies sucks.
