You write your state assembly person, state senator, federal congressperson, and federal senators and state that you want labor law reform similar to the European Working Time Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive for exempt employees. It enough people applied pressure to elected officials, this could be a reality.
- hwstar 11y agoBoilerplate to use to write your senators and congresspersons: In light of the recent allegations of employee mistreatment at Amazon.com, maybe it is time to redefine what an exempt employee is under the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938. I would like to propose changes similar to the European Working Time Directive if 1993. Here is the link with more details: http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:32003L0088 http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/ALL/?uri=CELEX:320... Labor law in the US must be harmonized with the rest of the developed world.

Me, I just don't put up with the crap anymore, either by not taking the job in the first place, or leaving if I discover it's a sweatshop. But not everyone is as well off as I, and this kind of crap needs to change for all.
