That "news" article is hilarious.

There's a really odd/interesting narrative surrounding this incident.
Out of curiosity, why would anyone have an expectation that someone would be paid if they didn't show up to work?
No offense, but that's pretty obtuse.Out of curiosity, why would anyone have an expectation that someone would be paid if they didn't show up to work?
I read the article. Their employment obligation for the day was show up to see the president blah, blah, blah and you'll be paid your overtime for that day. If you want to stay home that's cool but you're not being paid.No offense, but that's pretty obtuse.
This is a president who likes to boast about his crowd sizes and his imagined support among the working class. Do you think it's any coincidence that Trump wanted himself in front of a crowd of yellow vested workers for optics reasons? There's nothing abnormal about coming in for a work day and having to attend an all day training or meeting. But they only got overtime because getting out of the event proved to be such a challenge since they had to wait for the motorcade to depart. But later on the campaign trail, this will be used to manufacture imagery of Trump being somehow for the working man when his policies have been anything but. And even on this day, most of the people there report being annoyed more than anything. It's a time worn tradition for Presidents to use workers as part of their spectacle. My point in posting this is that the guy who's supposed to be so different is the same.I read the article.

Glad the actions of the union aren’t the same. All orange man’s fault.This is a president who likes to boast about his crowd sizes and his imagined support among the working class.

I'd like to talk to you about my Lord and Savior, Andrew Yang...Out of curiosity, why would anyone have an expectation that someone would be paid if they didn't show up to work?
Not quite:But they only got overtime because getting out of the event proved to be such a challenge since they had to wait for the motorcade to depart.
Shell spokesman Ray Fisher explained that the workers onsite have a 56-hour workweek, with 16 hours of overtime built in. That means those workers who attended Mr. Trump’s speech and showed up for work Friday, meeting the overtime threshold, were being paid at a rate of time and a half, while those who didn’t go to hear the president were being paid the regular rate
And even on this day, most of the people there report being annoyed more than anything.
Mr. Trump received a generally warm and at times cheerful welcome at Shell, where he praised natural gas extraction in Appalachia and talked about his political grievances and name-called some opponents.
If he wasn't different, he wouldn't be constantly drawing criticism and praise where it's largely undeserved. Read through this thread, there are essentially 2 repeated views. "Trump great!" and "Orange man bad!"My point in posting this is that the guy who's supposed to be so different is the same.
That's who should be running as VP, but won't because his platform makes too much sense for the Democratic party.I'd like to talk to you about my Lord and Savior, Andrew Yang...
