Did you know that truckers are not paid for the time they spend loading and unloading their trucks? That flight attendants are not paid for the time they spend boarding and unboarding the aircraft, or the time they spend at work between flights? Corporations are making record profits off the abuse of their workers and blaming it all on politics and "supply issues". The real culprit is greed at the top.

Huh. I would think that the Department of Labor and Industries would have put an end to this.

They would except truckers get paid based on the the number of miles they drive and the time spent waiting while their trucks are loaded and unloaded is built in to that wage. I don't know if fight attendents are paid the same way but I would assume they are also paid based on the number of miles or time they are in the air.

I work for myself and work many, many hours that I don't get paid for.

Where do I sign up to get paid for those hours and who pays for it?
