How does it work with resting hours in the US? You also have a minimum for off-work time, no matter what work, right? For example in Austria it's 8 hours every day + 48 hours per week for most jobs.
Yeah no we don’t do that here. That’s considered socialism and stifling the right to labor all you want in America.
We’ve also been in the process of abandoning the 40 hour work week that our ancestors fought and died for with things like frequent mandatory overtime and unpaid lunch.
I actually had no idea some countries got guaranteed resting hours. I’ve worked 12 days in a row once and I was even in a union then.
I think there actually are requirements (I might be wrong) but it's just very often ignored.
I've at least had restrictions about how many days in a row I could work at every job I've had. That goes out the window though with multiple jobs
