They weren’t being paid during the time they were working to usher and assist boarding passengers?
What the fuck.
This is seriously insane to me. I start getting paid as soon as my ass hits my chair. And when I was working in an office, it was as soon as my foot went in the door.
I can’t imagine interacting with the public on behalf of a company without being paid for it. Wtf.
You a freelancer/contractor now?
In office you weren’t salaried I suppose
I was a consultant for most of my career until recently where I switched to a salary employee.
Ah hope that’s a rewarding switch one way ($) and/or another

That is a huge deal. They should be paid from the minute they enter the airport but this is at least a step in the right direction. Another W for unions
Now give them retroactive boarding back pay.
Not that I’m defending them but that will probably put all airliners out of business. Which I hope it would.
Ah the land of the free to be exploited by corporations…
