Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:

- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Just now catching up to what we have in the states and not until 2030. So nothing amazing here.
I might just be a dumb American but I'm pretty sure most states have none of this.
~~Which states are you living in m8?~~
Edit replied to the wrong comment whoops
I mean…
I’d kill for that. Even if it’s legal in the states it definitely still feels like I gotta take calls all hours of the fucking day and night
Amen to that. Where I work it seems to have regressed recently, too.
It hit a point of sanity there, then there was a disruption in management... sigh.
Never had a job that required me to answer after hours and wouldn't accept one that did.
I mean… I didn’t accept one to begin with, but I’ve been moved into one that that does.
Same happened at mine.
Have you tried...turning off your phone?
In some places that is called a "CLM", or career-limiting move.
Meaning, a great way to give the powers that be an excuse to fire you.
If they fire you for that, you have a law suit.
They can't fire you for that
Good luck proving it, LOL.
Didn’t work that way. Cause if I don’t answer I get people who whine tear I never answer my phone, but also simultaneously don’t text me or leave voicemails
Respond saying you answer the phone during work hours
And for some reason that makes you the sample for the entire population? Or what’s your point?
The US has a 40 hour workweek already*, but we don't have anything about after-hours contact or pay cuts.
*Unless you're salary exempt, an 'independent contractor' gig worker, in certain agricultural jobs, or other exceptions.
Which states have any of these laws, and of those how many have all of them? If the answer isn't one, then it's none. Do better
This has got to be bait.
