Background: I work for a tree company which does not qualify for overtime and I signed a contract stating I will work more then 44 hours a week without overtime pay. This has allowed my boss to make us work 11-12 days 5 days a week and even gets us to come in on Saturdays. It burns all of my co workers out because we get about 2 hours of time after work before we need to sleep. I am studying college part time right now and haven't had time to study. I said enough is enough and just called my boss to revoke the contract stating I will work over 44 hours a week. I could tell he was stunned because no one has ever stood up to him before and this will impact how he runs things. I am 20 years old and im the first person in 10 years of this company running to stand up and get my life back. I feel so good to have stood up and put my foot down. I hope others continue to stand up to their boss and tell them no. Im now encouraging my other co workers to do the same. We have rights and we have power together.
