See, you're just lucky. Many folks don't have good bosses, so a law like this is good.

So You need a law for normal, decent behavior?

I think it's pretty clear from my comment that I don't need that law. But some people do, because some people have bosses who will not behave normally and decently unless forced to.

Hell, one of the two major political parties in the US has been pushing (successfully in many states) to roll back child labor laws. Teens have died already: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2023/oct/20/republican-child-labor-law-death

No only do we need the laws, but we need to be conscientious in applying them and making sure they stay strong.

Fighting fascism is exhausting, it's a constant battle.
