I have a set route of multiple job sites that I work at throughout the day. <br />My employer claims they don't have to pay me for the my commute time to/from my home to whichever my first/last job site. If I was only transporting myself I would agree but I'm physically driving a necessary piece of equipment without which I cannot do my work. <br />I'm also providing parking and security for that vehicle at night. <br />What do you think? <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04627514070688015993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5195531732750182551.post-21226738734247152312017-03-17T10:48:54.339-07:002017-03-17T10:48:54.339-07:00Per the NY Times, Trump admits exactly what the Co...Per the NY Times, Trump admits exactly what the Court found - that his new Executive Order is just a repackaged version of the same, unconstitutional old order: "Mr. Trump even said he might reissue the initial version of the order, rather than the one blocked on Wednesday, which he described as 'a watered-down version of the first one.'" Alexander Burns, "2 Federal Judges Rule Against Trump's Latest Travel Ban," New York Times, March 15, 2017.<br /><br />At a campaign-style rally, Trump also shouted until his voice failed him, attacking Judge Watson for upholding the constitution, calling him political and saying the decision makes us weak.

You may not walk or drive to the security entrance, you must take the bus. From there we must walk to our respective departments time clocks to begin getting paid.

(http://www.scotusblog.com/2016/08/north-carolina-comes-up-one-vote-short-for-stay-in-election-law-case/#more-246115) The three-sentence order indicates that Chief Justice Roberts, along with Justices Kennedy, Alito, and Thomas, would have granted the stay. The Court’s conservatives – without Justice Scalia around – came up one vote short in trying to allow enforcement of North Carolina’s discriminatory voting law.<br /><br />Meanwhile, in the wake of the Fourth Circuit’s ruling, The New York Times reports that a number of North Carolina county election boards are adopting new strategies targeted at suppressing participation by voters of color. (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/31/us/politics/election-rules-north-carolina.html) Such strategies include reducing the number of polling places open for early voting and declining to include polling places in African-American areas among those early voting sites. These efforts, in their blatant disregard for the rule of law, only reinforce the need to show up and be heard on – or before – November 8, 2016.
