Ok, y'all gonna have to explain this one. How is being forced to work a late shift a good thing for anyone? That labor law sounded to me like it was there to protect women given the context of the society they are in. The dangers for women, law enforcement capabilities, social education,etc... did not change. So less protection is good, because somehow being overworked 12h+ shifts is a sign of equality for women? I was expecting "outrage" against this lol.
You would think HN crowd would be for more labor laws that prevent companies from taking advantage of people and putting them in danger.
- kelipso 4y agoIt's easy to convince middle class Americans of pretty much any evil thing as long as you frame it in one "progressive" idea or another.
- dontlaugh 4y agoThe HN crowd are or think of themselves as owners of companies, not workers in them. I’m not even a little surprised the general attitude is anti-worker.
- airpoint 4y agoVery much so. I've learnt over the years that HN folk often regard 60 hour weeks as 'normal' and will defend to the death someone's right to voluntarily crunch even more over a long period of time as long as they get paid. That's at least my perception of the crowd here, and it puzzles me.
