If you have ever worked in retail, you are probably familiar with their unpredictable "on call" scheduling.  However, this method of scheduling is now being investigated by the New York attorney general.

Many workers need to put aside time to show up for a shift that they may not be needed for.  According to the State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, this system is unfair.  It means that the workers cannot schedule another job or consistent child care.
