Directors fudge the paysheets all the time. There are better ways to canvass for a difference.

I had an uneasy feeling about it after they seemed satisfied to hire me after a 5 minute interview. It is right in there paper work that I'd have to pay out for "Sustainers" bounced checks. Dammit, I was hoping that this could be something cool. Hell, maybe I can stand it for a few weeks until I can find a real job. Hmm… maybe I shouldn’t go to my first day to work there?

They may have changed their policies after being absolutely forced to, but not before putting up one hell of a fight. They're absolute despicable frauds who should be in jail.

"Employees also often work over 60 hours a week. According to the Fund’s own website, a typical workday for a Fund employee starts at 9:30 and doesn’t end until 10. And employees aren’t paid at a higher rate for working overtime." Allie, get your facts straight, the typical employee works about 40 hours a week, employees DO get paid over time and the typical workday goes from 1:45-10:00pm.

The hypocritical nature of The Fund exposed in this article forces the reader to think twice about these grassroots organizations we trust without ever stopping to think about their true nature.
