That’s not true. Maybe it varies from state to state, I dunno, but I live in an otherwise very blue state, and there’s no statute on the books saying that a private employer must pay for time missed for jury duty.
They are required to allow you to go if you’re summoned, but beyond that, it’s their choice. Obviously, most (if not all) choose not to.
And who are they going to have take over mod responsibilities (for free) in all of these communities at once? This is why mods need to call their bluff and force them to try to replace them.
