Yes. It totally has to come from the government. No way companies alone will do any good for their employees and respect their time.

Take the 6 or 8 can holder plastic thingy (that turtles and fishes always get tangled up). In the EU, it is forbidden to use them. So, companies like Coca cola don't implement them. But in the US, there are no laws stating that, so they continue selling with that shit.

Without the government backing them, employees are just numbers in sheets for companies. Nothing more.
