2x overtime push? (lemmy.ca)

My employer is perpetually understaffed; and so are most of the places my friends work. Is it really cheaper to burn everyone out at 88hr weeks paying 1.5x, than hire the proper staff? What would it take to get a push for 2x overtime pay started to stop these shenanigans?

I'm gonna assume OP is rounding up a bit but if the 88 hours / week is actually accurate than the employer is likely violating the rest period laws.

In BC you need to be given time off for 32 hours uninterrupted every week, additionally you must be given 8 hours off every day.
