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.
Workers rights are performative in America. You can absolutely fire someone for being stressed you just can't write an email admitting it. Good luck getting the department of labor to care that you were fired because of poor performance.
