[QUOTE="Cody C. Lewis, post: 7699948, member: 6802841"] After reading through some of the posts... I see a few people have mentioned that the laws were in place to protect volunteers from being abused. While I still believe WotC can scrape together enough money to pay these guys at least minimum wage (what a slap in the face that would be for the future of events-- no swag, food, etc for just minimum wage) I will say this. Just because something has been put into law, doesn't mean anything when looking at something morally. Seriously. Laws are made up by people who, while put into office by the general pop, do not always, 100% of the time, put great laws in place. Laws have NOTHING to do with morals. Prohibition Slaves were legally considered property You can't spit on a sidewalk Etc etc (please, not changing subject to any of these, just pointing out that laws are made by the few to govern the many, and some are great, and some are horrendous). Again, I am leaning more towards the judges on this, but to question whether if what they are doing is actually moral, is completely fair. They DID agree to their discussed compensation and now they are asking for more than what was agreed on. Laws or not. I can absolutely see the argument that they could have walked away at anytime.
