never works for anyone. The new law starts Feb. 24. Until then, your "anticipation" may be fun but it is illegal.

This kinda puts a new twist on who's really taking the risks of employment. We're often told it's the investors and owners who take the risks, the employees get a sweet deal with regular paychecks....

I wonder if the driver was driving his or her own vehicle? What kind of wage was he or she making?
