Hours of work Usually adult workers cannot be forced to work more than 48 hours a week on average - this is normally averaged over 17 weeks. You can work more than 48 hours in one week, as long as the average over 17 weeks is less than 48 hours per week. If you are 18 or over and wish to work more than 48 hours a week, you can choose to opt out of the 48 hour limit. This must be voluntary and in writing. It can't be an agreement with the whole workforce.

In January 2008, Mrs. Eldridge filed a motion with the court that entered the divorce decree, seeking an order forcing Mr. Eldridge to pay a total of $7,000 in missed child support payments. Mr. Eldridge countered with a petition to modify his child support obligation. The petition requested that he be excused from having to pay the obligations that accrued during his ten month unemployment period. The court ordered Mr. Eldridge to pay half of the amount due, totaling $3,500 and excused him from the remainder of the balance, due to the factor the Mr. Eldridge was unemployed during the months that the child support was being accrued.

Scanlan also made sure there was notification of his findings posted throughout the mine in order for all to be informed of the danger of the mine. Scanlan was sure to report all of his findings to the Department of Mining and Minerals. The decision to not shut down the mine in order to demand the safety measures be remedied has proven to be a hard lesson learned. This is mainly because it will always be questioned “what if” these measures were done, would the lives of 111 coal miners be saved. Scanlan as public administrator may have used the media and public radio stations to inform the public of the possibility of the explosion and this may have forced the owners and authorities to take action sooner than they decided to take action.
Karen Olsson talks about how an American cannot live on the wages walmart offers their hourly employees. Jennifer Mclaughlin has worked for Wal-Mart for over three years now and earns $16,800 a year. “The way they pay you, you cannot make it by yourself without having a second job or someone to help you, unless you have been there 20 years or you’re a manager.” She states that Wal-Mart managers force her to work overtime, off the clock, and that practice is not only localized to her store only, it is a nationwide practice. “Wal-Mart settled similar lawsuits involving 67,000 workers in New Mexico and Colorado, reportedly paying more than $50 million.” (Olson, They Say I Say pg. 348) In a way to make sure unions do not come into Wal-Mart the have interrogated workers, confiscated union literature, and fired union supported all in violation of the law.

It established a National Labor Relations Board, which had the responsibility to assure that elections to determine if a union would represent workers would be fair and to oversee the collective bargaining that took place between unions and management after a company was unionized. The Wagner Act allowed workers to strike, picket, and boycott business with which they were having disputes. It made illegal so-called company unions, which were employee organizations sponsored by employers. It also outlawed blacklisting, intimidation, and industrial spies.
