Came across this visiting Ellis Island. What’s the difference from then to now?

Came across this visiting Ellis Island. I don't see a difference in the world today from what this is explaining in 1910.

Wendys drug test?

Does Wendys drug test? I just started at Wendy’s and a lot of the employees including the manager asked if I smoke weed. I even saw a bong on the managers desk and they asked if they can take a video of me taking a rip in full uniform. I wonder if I should. I am a stoner but I wonder why everyone smokes weed all the time.

Anyone else have cleaning the building as part of your “job duties”?

So my workplace doesn't have anybody to clean anywhere, it's just expected that we, the employees, keep up and maintain the stores cleanliness. BtW we work in a pharmacy. Usually by 12 I'm burnt out and tired. People leave their dishes in the sink for weeks. Nobody cleans up after themselves. We have one girl who cleans the bathrooms on weekends. Idk it's just weird to me, I've never worked somewhere like this.

Do I have a right to overtime pay even if my job expects me to sign a paper saying otherwise?

Hey there, I work fastfood in Ontario, and we're getting three paychecks for the month of June and I want to get myself more savings to put away by working overtime. I know a lot of places don't like to give overtime and I heard that some places even get their employees to sign a paper saying that they give up their time and a half for ot. Even if they do sign, would they still be entitled to it if it was illegal for the employer to waive it?

“Prosperity is possible” ?

Just seen a commercial talking about “Washington passing policies isn’t the answer” and then they had a website. But there’s no information. Does anyone know what this is about or is it just another corporation trying to capitalize off the average persons struggle? Website : https://americansforprosperity.org

Been promoted for 3 weeks; not getting pay raise

Got through all the paperwork in one day. Mere minutes after submitting it, I received and was alerted to a background check and obliged. The next day at work I had all new responsibilities and expectations and have been doing the extra work for three weeks now. Manager keeps moving the goalpost. All the paperwork and credentials got knocked out in a matter of minutes; the payraise? Oh that'll take until Sunday. Oh sorry not today, we'll get it in by Tuesday. Oh, what? That still hasn't gone through? I'll call the office… Office says you should be good on Friday. What do I do? I'm actually livid. I really need that raise and I've been doing tasks that have been put upon me in exchange FOR the raise. They've shorted me nearly $600 in the last three weeks alone just by NOT giving me the raise. I'm going in…

MLK was a democratic-socialist. This the MLK they don’t teach in schools or preach in the media.
