This isn't uncommon. I work for a large health care system on the coast. During an emergency situation, essential employees are required to come to work and will be terminated if they don't show up. Non-essential employees are not allowed to come to work, and they must use vacation time if they want to get paid for hours not worked. It's been that way at every hospital I've ever worked -- just part of the reality of being employed.
Yeah, not so much. Many employers do not do this. Strike that-- I have never worked for an employer who has done this. I hope that the upcoming contract negotiations turn out very favorably for the cast members. All I keep reading over and over again is how amazing they have been, and as the face of the company I think most people would be sad to hear that many are living paycheck to paycheck because of tight hours and low wages.
