What is the name of your state? Oregon
I work for a private ambulance company full time, in a small town where I live. We also have a volunteer association whose members sign up for shifts when I am not working my paid hours, covering a minimum of 24 hrs. a month as well as a mandatory meeting and drills. It is now in my job description that I (or whoever works my position) has to be a volunteer with the association. I do the same thing at work as I do as a volunteer, except respond from home when there is a call.
It's not that I don't want to volunteer, but is it legal for them to force me to do it? Seems like that takes the volunteer out of volunteering!
