Working unpaid overtime is a no-no for Union Workers. I'm quite surprised! Please tell me this is OK, because I did a lot of it and have ended up with a guilty conscience.

I just put 8 hours on my time sheet and leave it at that. That`s what I thought. You work for someone else and consider that you do all the work and they make all the money. If you think that. Why don`t you go out on your own? You say you do work on the side. Why not go full time on the side? I`ll tell you why ok? You can`t afford too. Because of all the taxes you would have to pay. Once you quit working on the SIDE and conform to the laws of being self employed. You can`t make as much as you do working for someone else while you try to grow. That is a result of big government. Not your employer robbing you. I own my own business. To get it off the ground I had to work 16 hours a day for a year. And made less money then i did working for some one else. Now I still work 12 hours a day. During the busy season. This is the off season so its only 8 hours. These are the figures of what My business has to pay on employee wages. 6.5% SS, 5% workmens comp insurance, 6% state unemplyment tax, 2% property tax on equipment,1% fed unemployment tax. Those are just taxes. I have not even got into real over head yet.
