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?

FYI you have a legal right to refuse Overtime.

If they retaliate and fire you for that you'll have excellent grounds to sue them for wrongful dismissal etc.

Yeah, they will absolutely retaliate. The last guy who tried to organize everyone had an "Accident" and can't work anymore. Guy before that got written up on SA charges and fired. There is a vast gap between what you know and what you can prove.
