Maybe naive, maybe not, but my policy is that: Any hour of any day an 
employer claims ***ANY*** influence over, must be paid for ($$$) by said 
employer when attempting to make ANY claim on that hour of my life. Period.

There are already far too many 
would-be-slavedrivers^H^H^H^H^H^H^employers who attempt to stake claim 
to the hours of a human being's life WHICH THEY DO *NOT* COMPENSATE FOR.

If an employer *does not* pay me for an hour of my life which they 
*claim control over*, then the employer WILL NOT BE MY EMPLOYER. Period.

If others held themselves to the same basic standards, then nobody in 
the world would ever be slave^H^H^H^H^Hpersonal-property to a business 
which makes claim to a human life without accepted compensation.
