Ever have one of those days...
Have you ever had one of those days when you realized that getting paid $20 an hour for unskilled labor just wasn't enough? I sure haven't.
But Aneesah Shelbourne has.
Aneesah Shelbourne, a checker at the Oakland store, said that even though she makes $19.08 an hour, she works only 24 to 32 a week. A single mother, she says she couldn’t afford the possible $95 additional payments to cover herself and her two daughters.
And if you think she has it bad now, just think how poor she was when she couldn't afford condoms.
Note to all potential employees of anyone: If you don't work 40 hours a week, you aren't going to be compensated for working 40 hours a week, nor should you be. Also, if you're making a buck every three minutes for unskilled labor, don't bitch about it.
