Unpaid OT is the backbone of the education system.

It is a lot like the flight attendant conversation. Why is it they are unpaid before the plane takes off? They are at work, they are even doing work to ensure people are getting onto the plane safely and storing their bags properly but they weren't getting paid because the plane hadn't taken off? Absurd.
Then if the flight is delayed and they have to sit on the runway for hours with angry people yelling at them they are still not being paid.... gross. Could you imagine if your job asked you to show up for 4 hours and be ready to work but not pay you a penny for it?
Interesting that both Education and Flight attendants are women dominated jobs, eh?
