Letter to GNC.

"I just wanted to say that I think it's downright chilling you do not pay part-time employees "time and a half" for working on Independence Day. The Fourth of July, 1776 really means something to our country. For a company that grew out of the heartland of our Nation (during the Great Depression mind you) -it really shows a lack of respect to your employees, your country and our veterans (like my father) who sacrificed everything in the line of service.

On the homepage you have a link to inform people of how our freedoms are being abridged by the FDA and other regulatory agencies. I agree with you. But, really - why do you deserve more freedoms? You don't value your part-time employees or your country enough to compensate them for working through the most important Holiday we celebrate as Americans. The Fourth of July, Independence Day.

Not to mention, it's 2009. Our country is fighting two wars. The job market and economy (especially in California) is in serious trouble. Your part-time employees are struggling to survive.

God Bless.

I urge the rest of you to stand up for what is right and what is yours.
