HE HAS TO JOIN THE CONSTRUCTION UNION ,IT IS NOT UP TO THE COMPANY THEY CAN NOT PUT HIM IN THE UNION. TELL HIM TO SEE THE UNION STUART,AND HE WILL GET HIM THE PAPERWORK. IT WILL COST HIM TO JOIN THE UNION AND HE WILL HAVE TO PAY HIS UNION DUES EVERY MONTH, IF HE IS GOING TO STAY AT THIS JOB THEN IT'S WORTH JOINING THE UNION,IF NOT THEN JUST KEEP WORKING AS HE IS.

Generally, the unions are made to represent the workers in any industrial unit. These unions represnt the voice of working class. The leader of these trade union represent the whole union. Any union member can go to his leader to complain if he has any problem. These unions take up the problems to the owners of their unit like wage hike, bonus, problem in the unit etc. These unions, if dissatisfied with the decisions of the authority may call for a strike. These strikes may be legal or illegal. Basically a trade union is an association of workers in any industrial unit.

You need to call the labor relation board in your state and see if that is legal. It doesn't sound like it but they would know the answers. You can do it without stating what company you work for.

I think that blue colar workers have been traditionally enjoined to unions.  They pay a relatively high rate to said union for which they can be gauranteed a long term employment (hard to fire) with a single company, health benefits, retirement benefits etc...\n\nThe new collar worker (or those currently entering the workforce) are not necessarily so keen to enjoin such a long term prospect.   They want the freedom to 'shop around' for the best company. They tend not to trust the company for which they work.  They do not want to "be taken care of."  Very often they would like to see shorter contracts, higher pay (which they can invest themselves in what they think is a good investment) and fewer fringe benefits.  In other words, less clout and benefits than the blue collar has.

CAN you?  Yes.  I am salaried but I am paid for overtime.  Does a company HAVE to pay you overtime if you're salaried?  Generally no.

It varies from state to state and province to province.  It depends also on whether they are members of a union.  Generally the salaries are not high.  Where I live they range from about $13 to $16 an hour, with usually 5 or 6 hours a day at most.

When you hire employees you tell them the hours that are required to be worked.  If they want the job, then they will agree to the hours.\n\nYour problem will not be with the wage and hour people, it will be in keeping employees.

Yes. It's called an employer. They dole it out over the course of many years.

No this is not legal! You get your wages and then YOU pay your bills. My company does not pay my bills for me!

No, a company does not have to pay you during your maternity leave, and it would seem that would include any bonuses.

The fact that anything is paid out of pocket is too much. Unions abuse and steal the workers "union dues". This isn't the 1800's anymore, workers need to think for themselves, and hold personal responsibility.

Unions may have been a good idea in the beginning, but at this point all they successfully do is keep incompetent people in a high paying job.  My husband works for a company with the union, and firing employees for anything that would have gotten them fired from any other job is near impossible.  The workers that don't deserve an increase in pay routinely are awarded for nothing, and receive a salary that is far above what they deserve.  Yet employees that truly deserve raises and bonuses are constricted by the rules, and don't get the recognition they deserve.  There is a reason that many businesses are opting not to have the union involved with their company, it doesn't make sense business-wise.

call the labor board they can tell you and any thing else you need to know about wages

Most companies don't pay their employees "current". All that means is that the pay period cuts off one week before the checks are cut and paid to the employees. That gives the Payroll department time to process the payroll. \n\nFor instance, If you were hired on the first of a month and the first payday was the fifteenth, the timecard showing your hours worked would probably be due the 7th of the month. You would turn in a timesheet reflecting one week of hours worked. By the time you get paid on the fifteenth you will have worked two weeks, but the second week goes into the next pay period, and so on. \n\nWhen you leave employment your final check will reflect all hours worked, so it will work out in the end, I promise!

Yes, it is required. You can get them free from the California Labor department. They need to be posted in employee breakrooms, and public places.

I think they're a necessary evil. NECESSARY, because many employers, if unchecked, would exploit their employees. This is what led to the formation of unions in the first place. Greedy individuals who will make a profit at any cost and not recognize the labor force. \n\nAn EVIL because they can interfere with the freedom of employer to do as they will with their business. And, after all, unions are also run by men who themselves can be greedy and make unreasonable demands on employers.\n\nIn an ideal world, employers would pay fair wages to their employees and there would be no need for union. An honest day's pay for an honest day's work.

legally they have to pay you for the work you did.
