Re: volunteer work

You may want to re-post and explain how "volunteers" are "forced" to work a set number of hours. You may also be asking whether a volunteer can "force" the organization to allow them to work fewer hours. Volunteer work is generally a match between the organizations needs and the individual's desire and interest in that organization. If they don't match up, so be it. I can't imagine it would be a good idea for lawmakers to spend one minute enacting laws on this subject, or anyone actually thinking it is a good idea.
