I think that Wendy's is disgraceful for using the economic situation against it's hourly and salaried workers to get more out of them for the same money. I won't name any names for fear of retaliation against certain employees, but at least in your stores in the Colorado Springs, Colorado area that's what Wendy's is doing. New hourly employees will no longer recieve any paid vacation and salaried employees must work a fifty hour week to make their salary. Sounds like forced overtime to me. Sick pay was taken away. If an employee gets sick, they must make up the time that they missed in order to be paid for it. This on top of a fifty hour (already) work week. Sounds fair, huh? Wendy's is claiming tough economical times. So, we are all suffering from these same economics, but Wendy's is taking advantage of it's employees needing jobs and putting the squeeze on them. I hope to enlighten Americans to this act of greed, just starting here. I will soon be writing local papers to let them know of this practice.
