Well, what’s the alternative? Unemployment or lifelong low employment? The economy is changing; warehouses and transportation are big now, and PA is in the perfect geography for it.

Your employer can declare “mandatory overtime” with the expectation that you’ll work so many hours of OT in a week (including over so many hours in a day.) As long as they pay you at least time and a half for hours worked over 40 in a week, they are ok legally. Your only recourse is to find another job. Or your group unionize and negotiate a contract that limits mandatory OT.
