For the most part, the employer is in the power position in this negotiation. While you might believe that doesn’t apply to yourself, I’d say it likely applies to 60-80% of the workforce, so when they exercise that power and refuse to employ anyone not willing to work 60+ hours a week without any type of overtime, most would be fricked.

How’d the free market work back in the 20s and 30s when work conditions were needlessly dangerous and many workers worked 6-7 days a week, because the employer told them to.

I’m all for small government, but to act like the free market is perfect is asinine.
