You do realize that as 200s go away our pay rates automatically go up, right? It's not a lot, but that's how the blended rate already works.


And once again you choose to display your vast and comprehensive knowledge of labor law. Thanks for that.


You're absolutely right, we have a lot of things working in our favor right now, too many to run off half cocked and do stupid things like violating Federal labor law or having blanket parties in the parking lot.
