> And I doubt many employees will report on their bosses for fear of getting fired, or retaliated against in more subtle ways. Regardless of any anti-retaliation provisions. Precisely. The people this would (but doesn't) protect are those who don't have a strong position or one would describe as meek. Most often it is the latter or both. Those in a strong position, who had no problem ignoring work messages when it wasn't convenient or telling their manager to shove it if necessary didn't have the problem this tries to solve. The only time these employers really change their behavior is when they are so afraid of the legal repercussions, they make it a point to adhere to the regulations and then some. It doesn't help that this is fighting culture (weak separation of work and life).
