I don't agree, or at least if it does go this route then people will end up getting unions involved. From where I sit people are already sick of 45 hour work weeks so making this even more intrusive is not going to last long.
The unions got us overtime, breaks, lunch and vacation. As a result, we created a two-class system for labor laws; management and workers. However, white-collar workers qualify under the provisions previously reserved for management so the laws created to protect labor no longer apply.
The law isn't some kind of book from "on high" with static text that just is. It is a living body of rules that under the right circumstanced even lowly working class citizens can affect. If people are becoming exploited again and current labor laws can't stop it then those laws need to be changed.
