I had to explain to a manager that either he could A) bump at least one day 
off to earlier in the week, B) pay me overtime, or C) expect me to call the 
labor board.  After a long involved conversation with this particular 
individual who has been promoted to his level of incompetence, he promised 
to get me a day off between the fifth and eighth day of that work week.  The 
gist of the conversation was that the company won't stop ILLEGALLY 
SCHEDULING people for overly long work weeks avoiding OT by paying attention 
only to workweeks, but I shouldn't have to deal with it personally. So, I'm 
shutting up because I need a job, and it isn't my problem at this point. Is 
it just me, or shouldn't ONE lawsuit be all the warning a company needs to 
get its act together and look at all the ways it's ILLEGALLY mistreating its 
employees and work on all of them, or does someone need to sue over each and 
every little one. As I said, is there something UA in this or is it just 
insipid?

I'm afraid it is niether UA nor insipid.  It is, as Chris stated, due to 
piggy greed heads (AKA Crapweasles).  I would go the Labor Board for advice. 
  You obviously do not belong to a union.  See what they say and then plan 
your strategy.  DO NOT give up on this.  Otherwise BOHICA will become your 
middle name.  GOOD LUCK!
Peace,
MacMonkey
