The question in my mind is how do we stop this abuse?
Do we (as workers) put out a letter that asks for net average 40 hour weeks and ask companies to sign on to it?
Do we keep naming and shaming like this? Or?
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:

Labor law in the US must be harmonized with the rest of the developed world.
At least I tried.
Amazon was something like 15%/15%/30%/30% over 4. It's not very pro employee.
As a Amazon refugee, that is the funniest fucking thing I've read all day. We're all cowering, downtrodden, abused leaders here!
