Knowledge worker companies would invest more in countries that didn’t have such laws, then hire remotely. Manufacturing companies would move even more operations to countries without those laws. Labor that couldn’t move would become more expensive. Unfortunately this means a lot of things that consumers use directly: Plumbers, transportation, grocery store work. Things would be expensive. Also, don’t underestimate the issues that come from frequent shift changes. Imagine if you hired a plumber and they had to drop their tools and leave the job site ASAP because they just hit 20 hours for the week, but another plumber would stop by later and try to pick up where they left off.
