美国《大西洋月刊》 5 月 10 日文章，原题：兼职工作如何沦为陷阱 如今，对于数百万美国低薪工人而 言，过度劳累并非问题，关键是工作时长不足。几年前，我曾在一家大型仓储式商店的仓库工作了6个 月，我原以为同事们会因每小时12.25美元的起薪而沮丧，但实际上，他们更关心的并非时薪，而是不 规律的工作时间。这家商店与美国许多零售店一样，采用"即时排班"制度，员工们可能这周工作4小 时，下周工作30小时。我和同事们根本无法预知每周工作多长时间，实际上也就不清楚工资总额。这种 波动的薪水几乎让他们难以获批汽车贷款或租到公寓，遑论存钱了。 更令人窒息的是，在美国许多州，医疗补助等社会保障项目都要求受益人记录工作时间，这意味着，若 特定时间段内的工时过短，受益人可能会失去所需福祉。美国劳动法在20世纪的伟大成就之一，就是限 制雇主们要求员工工作时间过长。然而近年来，工时过短反而成为美国工薪阶层更容易遭受的剥削形 式。大公司通常不会给员工分配过长的工作时间，而是通过雇用多名兼职员工来替代招聘一名全职员 工。这些不稳定的临时工没有福利，工作时间安排不稳定，每周工作时长波动大。 在1938年美国罗斯福政府通过《公平劳动标准法 ...
