We need to convince Congress that the US needs a law that limits the number of hours employees can be forced to work in one 24-hour period.
Why is this important?
I teach English to our immigrants and so many of them disappear because they work such long hours they can not attend class. I checked our labor law and discovered there is NO limit on the number of hours employees can be forced to work in one 24-hour period. None whatsoever. I have a current student working landscaping who worked 8 a.m. to 11:05 p.m. recently.
