It's often unwise to bite the hand that feeds you.

 

[adjusterjack]

Equally unwise not to provide details and a question here.

We're going to need far, far more information than that for any relevant feedback. What "rights" did you stand up for (it makes a LOT of difference). What did your contract say and when was it initially to end?

 

[steveieray68]

I am a contractor and by law and according to the courts which there have been many lawsuits I am not an employee but yet they treat me like one I work over 40 hours a week not compensated as a contractor I have the right to refuse work it states in the contract that I signed for them. A violation of FLSA by not compensating me for all of my overtime work there's a lot going on it all has been in court many time over the years yet no change on how things are ran

What kind of legal advice is that

 

[Zigner]

What kind of legal advice is that

If you are a CONTRACTOR, then you don't have rights as an EMPLOYEE.

You are going to need a determination from the feds to find out if you were improperly classified as an independent contractor.

...and please check your attitude at the door.

 

[cbg]

What kind of legal advice were you expecting from a message board when you made a single statement, did not provide any information, and did not ask a question?

 

[eerelations]

To paraphrase Zigner's response, if you are a contractor, you are not covered by the FLSA.
