I was going to add (but hit enter too soon) that I read the EA memo and it really doesn't seem like they're going to make any changes at all. If anything, the tone is rather threatening and condescending in that respect: 'outdated labor laws', etc. And if they only intend to CONSIDER revisions to their practices as is stated in the Memo, this is just so much lip service to cover their asses while they go on screwing the workers for months and months at a time.
(Much like I've been repeatedly told here- for months now- at work that 'help is coming, you just have to hang on a little longer because we have to run this through committees' while trying to do the job of two people in the middle of our busiest season.)
"Thinking" about changing something is not the same as actually changing it.
