workers’ rights are a joke! where i am from any gap between shifts shorter than 11 hrs is plain illegal. As it should be - seriously: unionize! It is your life they are wasting
I worked for a movie theater for a while, and once I got off at around 3 am and had to be in the next day at 8 am.
I routinely clocked more than 40 hours a week, once making it to 100 - but they didn’t have to pay OT because it’s the “performance industry.” Despite me being a hourly projectionist.
Yeah, because I can’t afford to go anywhere in my time off. Sleep is the vacation.
“Welcome back, Kotter…”
I work swing shift with weekends. I use PTO to avoid two shifts with only 8 hours in between them.
I try not to think about the times I dream of work.

Oh we are, but my state level government is doing everything they can to disband our union.
Sadly, its better than what I had before.
Be well!
