My dad doesn't have Reddit and he doesn't really understand this sub but he told me about this.
He is working at Suncor which is a giant oil mine in Alberta. They are having trouble attracting workers due to a variety of reasons. So they offered an incentive. $150 extra every day until the job is complete.
But they didn't offer it to everyone. The scaffolders didn't get it.
It has been 90° every day for the past couple of weeks and these guys are out there working hard with everyone else and not getting the same bonus.
So they started only working the hours required under the contract. 40 hours a week.
Everyone else is working 12 hour days 6 days a week.
The company just sent a cease and desist letter for an “illegal work action” threatening jobs, future employment, and even court MANDATED overtime with jail as a consequence for not working.
It makes me glad I'm not doing that for work. And never will.
