That's ridiculous because another problem that's happening is the growth of part-time, temporary and contingent workers.

People need to be aware that in the U.S., overwork is a way of life because it relates to both laissez-faire capitalism and economic policies, which means whatever the employer wants, goes.

So if they want to overwork people, they can do that.
