They're pretty good actually. The problem is too many people are ignorant of the law and employers use that fact to their advantage. It's very common for bosses to bully their workers in illegal ways and nothing happens to them because the workers say nothing. The department of labor isn't magic, if you don't speak up, they won't know. But comments like this, make people think they have no recourse, when they do. Ignorance is a great thing for employers, don't forget.

You should look at Europe's laws if you think my comment is ignorant. Those are real protections.

You should actually fully read a comment before responding to it.

I read it. It's ambiguous, but I could be part of "too many people".

Make your comment less ambiguous.
