Replying to you and to neo above: every American employer wants to squeeze the most out of the employee while skirting labour laws. That's the same for everyone--from the guy bagging the groceries at Vons to my sister (who works for a mega-prestigious law firm). Same story.
The problem is that Management forgets that there are reasons we have labour laws. The kinds of abuses in factories that spurred them did not disappear at all---they just outsourced those jobs to places were they can screw labour with impunity.
It will come back and bite them hard, but it won't happen until there is a major tragedy of some sort or a General Strike nationwide. *sigh*
