I do not know how much this is contributes but Nebraska has very low unemployment rates (<2% currently). Can be hard to recruit for difficult / manual labor jobs even if it pays well

If they have to mandate time and a half overtime because they can’t find people, it tells me they aren’t paying enough for their employees or charging enough for Frosted Flakes. (Welcome to inflation)

[missedthecue]

They have time and a half. That's a federal law not a union stipulation. That's why cereal makers are taking in $120k with overtime.

[lotsofpulp]

It is possible for the union to have negotiated more than 1.5x regular payrate for overtime.

[mathattack]

I meant if they have to force overtime, which happens to be at least time and a half, then they aren’t paying enough.

Except it doesn’t pay well. $120k/y normally is $60/h. With 80 hr weeks, assuming 1.5x for overtime, that’s $24/h. Frankly, any job that requires overtime better pay investment banker rates.
