      and gives 13.5 million workers the legal right to ignore their boss’s calls, messages, and emails after their shift ends

      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.

      The US has a 40 hour workweek already*, but we don’t have anything about after-hours contact or pay cuts.
