Typhoon troubles

Wouldn't it just be easier to pass a law that says that anyone having to work on a day where there is a typhoon would have to be paid DOUBLE- including if they are just stuck at the station?

That way, employers would be FORCED to give people some much needed time off, and we wouldn't have to have overly crowded stations with people unable to get to work.

Everyone wins.

Commuted by bicycle from Yokohama to Kawasaki this morning. Took 25 minutes door to door.

you could not foresee this situation and get up an hour earlier to avoid it? If the typhoon were here all day I would not have gone to work but seeing that it was passing and it would be sunny by 9am I went, an hour earlier, no congestion at all
