</html><description>Imagine you&rsquo;ve just landed a job with a big-time retailer. Your task is to load and unload boxes from trucks and containers. It&rsquo;s back-breaking work. You toil 12 to 16 hours a day, often without a lunch break. Sweat drenches your clothes in the 90-degree heat, but you keep going: your kids need their dinner. One day, your supervisor tells you that instead of being paid an hourly wage, you will now get paid for the number of containers you load or unload. This will be great for you, your supervisor says: More money! &nbsp;But you open your next paycheck to find it shrunken to the point that you are no longer even making minimum wage. You complain to your supervisor, who promptly sends you home without pay for the day. If you pipe up again, you&rsquo;ll be looking for another job.</description></oembed>
