As an hourly worker, salary seems like a scam

I get hourly/tipped pay, some days I work overtime and some days I get out early depending on how busy it is, so it balances out. I know that even if I work late at least I'm getting paid for being there, and I get holiday time and a half (tip wages so barely anything but still.) Our salaried supervisors on the other hand are short staffed, so they work overtime almost every day, for no extra pay, work holidays for no extra pay, are asked to come in on their days off for no extra pay. What even is the point? I wouldn't be able to handle working extra knowing I wasn't even being compensated for it.

Sign the petition here: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/tell-fox-give-broadcast-workers-a-fair-contract?source=direct_link& The Broadcast Workers who bring local FOX news coverage to the New York and Washington DC metro areas continue to fight to end their decade-long wage freeze and negotiate a fair agreement. So far, the give and take required for productive negotiations has been disproportionate, and management has refused to move off their demands to create a more disposable workforce. In this, FOX Television Stations, Inc. is turning its back on 75 years of stable labor conditions and a productive labor-management relationship. FOX’s Broadcast Workers are asking for your support!
