Michigan Labor Laws- Forced to work every day?

by **demarco** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 9:45 pm

I work for a company that just out of the blue posted a notice that we have to work every day up until christmas with no days off. That will be 21 days straight of working 12-16 hour days! We normally had to work 6 days with Sunday off. Are there any laws at the state or federal level to fight this?

As long as they compensate you then there is nothing you can say or do.

Look at the bright side....you have a job, in this case almost two in the state that has suffered one of the largest rises in unemployment in the nation.

Be thankful.

I have. I worked 6-7 days a week 12-16 hours a day for 6 years.

Nope, but I know many people that would love to replace you.
