(California)
I live in california and have worked for a company for two years . for the first year i worked 12 hrs every sat and 8 hrs sundays now i work tuesday thru sunday 8 hrs on sunday with no break or lunch as I'm the only one in the office. I was told when they hired me that after a yr and they hired new people I would no longer have to work weekends. but two yrsw later I am still working sundays. I have given birth to a baby 7 months ago and working sunday hasnt always been easy to get a baby sitter, but lucky for me my sister has been able to do it. but now she is working full time monday thru friday and she lives an hour and a half away and it is not convienant for her anymore to do it. I told my boss that i could still work sundays till the 24th of may but after that I no longer can, and they have two girls that were hired after me. I'm there only emplyee who has a child, and have done what i can. but they tell me that its my problem not there's to work it out somehow. I have no intentions of quitting even if they have to cut my hrs I understand but can they fire me and i still draw unemployment.
