Historically, businesses have taken advantage of their workers. In a system or business design where employees are reduced to commodities or just plain numbers, the only thing typically concerning the business owners is profits. When profits are the sole desire, people get lost in the mix.
At my old job, I would receive a salary based on 40 hours a week of work. However, presumably like many others, I would sometimes work 50, even 60 hours a week. I didn’t think anything of it because I just wanted to do my job and make everything run smoothly. I didn’t know Florida’s Wage Laws.
Many businesses are required to pay some of their employees overtime, but they do not. There are many ways for businesses to avoid doing this as I have learned this personally.
I am so glad there are lawyers in the Tampa Area that are fighting for the average worker’s rights.
You guys rock!!
