It's a violation of US labor law, for one.
Sounds like this country needs a kick in the labour laws.
You know, that could be made illegal. It's called labor law and kind of missing in the USA. Also insufficient in many other places.
I'd guess that's a labor law violation in most developed nations.
Its not singled out. There are labor laws in general that prevent possibly consenting people to work more (at least in europe)
Not in countries with functioning labor law.
Maybe the problem is the labor laws then?
Sounds like a statement that would constitute a violation of worker's rights in many countries.
How is this not in violation of working law in the USA? Insane.
Yup. Same as wage theft or OSHA/fire code violations. Illegal but because of the power imbalance often nearly impossible to do anything about.
