Antiwork

A new manager is making everyone coming on Saturday “just in case” not enough people show up for the only production line of three in the factory.

Tomorrow is the first weekend he is asking us all to come in to work. Only one production line of three is going to be operational. His reasoning is, “Some people might call in on that line so we need people to cover.” If we don't have to work, we don't get paid. I live 30 minutes away. So I have to wake up early, shower, drive 30 minutes, get told no, then drive 30 minutes back without pay. Also I have to cancel plans in case I do work! Is this even legal? That line staffs 12 people and they're making 30 people of the other lines come in.
