No. What a vapid, straw man argument. No one is arguing that they should be paid for time going to work and back. It's time "held in custody" for the screenings, while still on the jobsite that they should be paid for. Prosecute the thieves, don't punish everyone for their wrongdoing.
Should Amazon be able to require 2 hour employee meetings every week, off the clock?
