Let's get one of these already https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Working_Time_Directive
- sokoloff 11y agoI suspect that tech workers already have that ability for themselves. Don't want to work 60 hours a week at Facebook? Great; don't. What they don't have is the ability to prevent others from doing it. Personally, I like that and hated working in Germany where I was forced to stop working because of an arbitrary hours limit per week.
- vvanders 11y agoWhile that might apply to some BigCo there's large parts of tech that would really benefit from a WTD(GameDev I'm looking at you).
- rmc 11y ago> What they don't have is the ability to prevent others from doing it Yes they do. They have a law.
- sokoloff 11y agoCitation needed [that tech workers have the ability to prevent others from working 60 hours per week at Facebook].
- rmc 11y agoVote for politicians who support such a law. Join/form a union that will campaign for that sort of law. Talk to your friends and family to tell them that such a law should be brought in.
- sokoloff 11y agoThat's the thing. I oppose such a law and prefer the status quo in the US. But others who do believe in it should feel free to lobby for such a law.
