Fun tidbit from our negotiations

My union is currently negotiating with the evil overlords (Kroger and Albertsons.) Since we have actual workers and not just union people at the table, we get more details. This was my favorite. Company points out that people want more hours/money. They have a solution! Get rid of the “limitations” of overtime. If a company has to pay you more money to work overtime, that limits the amount of overtime they can give. Get rid of extra pay and the overtime is unlimited! It's the “freedom” to work as much as you want! This is going to be fun.
