President Bush is scheduled to make a speech at the Airlite Plastics Company in Omaha, Nebraska, to sell his tax cut and to explain how it will benefit american workers. I’ll withold my opinion so as not to be called a traitor, and to not unduly influence others.
cheap fuckers
One thing to consider, though, is that the speech could easily cost the employee more in lost pay than the tax cut will return.
Peace,
mangeorge
**Whoopie! The president’s coming! **
[Insert cheap Clinton joke here]
(On topic: hell, i don’t know. Would most people get paid for this time? Maybe, but I don’t think that’s a right. God, I sound pro-bush today; I don’t normally 
)
I just wanted to see if that post was scarcasm, or if there is anyone left who cares
Hmm, I am reading this as the employees are required by the Airlite Plastic People to attend during work hours, but not be paid for it? I am generally of the opinion that if my employer requires my time I require his money. Call me an unrepentant communist if you must.
The employees have 4 options:
Work at another plant.
Attend, but make up work on saturday
Attend, taking an unpaid vacation day (not part of vacation allowance).
Attend, taking a paid vacation day (part of vacation allowance).
It is unclear whether they can take an unpaid day and not attend 
When Bush Sr. came the the Everett, Washington Boeing plant all employees were encouraged to attend his speech. It took less than an hour out of everyones day. An hour after the speech management passed out notices for a weekend of mandatory overtime to make up time lost. What pissed me off was I did not attend the speech, I stayed on the job and got ahead of schedule on my bar. And they still made me work the weekend.
Airlite Plastics sought the presidential visit, not the other way around. It’s no big deal, I guess, but it does seem a little presumptuous of the company officials to assume the workers will bear the burden of the visit.
I think that if the pres was coming to my work, I’d catch hell if I didn’t show. Unless, of course, they could “fill the room” without my august presence.
