Antiwork

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

So you've never worked in low-level management for say, Amazon, or a non-profit like the American Red Cross. Or whatever. Cool!

This law isn't catered to you personally, don't you think there are bosses or work places that call their employees after hours - it's pretty common. I don't mind, but I get mails and messages after hours and just answer them.

It does effect me without me knowing in some ways, but I personally feel it's more important to help someone, that also might be stressed and decide to contact me, for some help or questions.

If the person or boss isn't an asshole I don't mind, but not everyone has that luxury, of having a boss that cares. Often they don't want to contact you after hours.

He makes me ashamed to be Canadian.

Too humane

Some jobs obviously require being on call.

If you need 24/7 coverage, you also need to pay those people to wait around on call. But just buzzing people at odd hours and demanding Just-in-Time employment puts a disproportionate tax on their unpaid time.

Medical staff will often have these extremely long - 20 to 30 hour - shifts because they want to maintain continuous care on a patient. But they also get paid for being active for that time frame. They don't just teleport to the hospital when an ambulance arrives and teleport away again as soon as the patient is stable. Professional Fire Departments keep people on call in rotation so there's always someone available in the event of an emergency. The volunteer system yields much worse results, as people holding down households and second jobs can't drop everything on short notice to rush halfway across town with ease.

there should be appropriate compensation naturally.

But that will cost money. And paying more money means keeping fewer profits.

Boycott the companies funding them

Guillotine?

Rich asshole with a reality TV show? Probably just as likely that we elect him president, wait for him to commit treason and more felonies than anyone can reasonably keep track of, and then fail to hold him meaningfully accountable for any of it.

We could less-figuratively use O'Leary as the signal fires of Gondor.

Everyone should send these shitty people drawings of poop. Good ones, bad ones. Whatever your drawing level..... draw a poop, lable it with "poop" if youre not sure theyll get it and send it. That should get across that we collectively think they are shit.

These types of assholes usually have po box for their businesses at the very least. On their website they typically have some sort of mailing address under "contact us."

If we can get inundated with junk mail everyday from shitty businesses advertising I think we can return the favor on this one.

Edit - put the return address from the north pole

With the right vote he could be doing that in a few years too.

That dude is a great illustration what Engels meant by comparing slavery to wage slavery.

After reading that, I think calling O'Leary a garbage human is an insult to garbage everywhere.

... and an on-call premium so you are always available

He doesn't get overpay himself for these hours, why should you? /s
