Here’s a follow up to the Walmart story from the other day,\u00a0<\/a>the interesting part of the article mentions the Schedules That Work Act, which is apparently being pushed through Congress. \u00a0I read through the bill and it essentially says that an employee can REQUEST a better schedule–i.e. better hours, less on-call etc. and the employer has to discuss it with them. \u00a0Unfortunately, the employer can still deny the request (for business needs) unless they do so for an unlawful reason. \u00a0 Huh? \u00a0I really don’t see how that would change anything–employees are scheduled for the needs of the business, not the needs of the employee and that won’t and shouldn’t ever change. \u00a0If you want to work in retail, you have to understand there’s no such thing as a “set schedule” and that your hours may vary, otherwise, well, you shouldn’t be working in retail.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0You can read the bill here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
