A Missing Comma Cost Them $5 MILLION #shorts

How about "you work overtime, you get overtime"

[turquoiseheart]

Pay your employees for overtime. Without them you don't have a business!

"how is grammar gonna help me irl"

"it will help, trust me"

More specifically, the Oxford comma avoids ambiguity in certain types of list, where the last two items could otherwise be considered one item.

I'm glad the truckers won and got their pay, but the system is still deeply broken.
Imagine having to go to court and having to look for loopholes to get your RIGHTFUL PAYMENT for a job you did. It's so sick...

[admiral_HiHi]

Whoever wrote that law and forgot to put in a comma must be fired by now 💀

[JulieWest-yp]

Finally, a loophole that worked for the working class! Good for you guys, You got what was owed to you!! 🎉🎉

They were owed that money. They worked it. They fought for and risked their Jobs.

[drider]

There's something about a handful of truckers teaching lawyers about grammar. Something wonderful, that is!

[sg-rhhi]

Its used to shock me how FAST government comes to defend corporations. Not anymore though.

[djembe]

Truckers deserve all the money they get for being the backbone of a nation, for a lot of people it’s a last resort sort of job and it’s a sketchy job too. Respect every worker.

[danadavis]

All of the arguments I've had about the oxford comma now feel justified, thank you!

[ZantariEXE]

Not paying your workers their overtime is insane

[Crypticat]

whoever the employee who realized the comma mistake is a genius i never would've caught that

[AkumaWolf]

The person who wrote the contract was going to double check the grammer, but it was the end of the day and he realised he wasn't going to get paid overtime :P

[J.petty]

Companies will do anything to weasel their way outta compensating their workers & government helps them do it every chance they get.

[srper]

Disgusting that a state can decide it is fine for employers to make people work unpaid overtime because they made a list! Surely this is not legal to begin with.

[breegan]

I still find it insane that truckers don’t qualify for over time

[myriamk]

Can we just respect our workers and be fair to begin with !?!? Truck drivers are the life blood of this economy!

[bigman]

Overtime work is overtime work and should be compensated as such.
