Time to stop these Amazon.com type of Worker Grinder Mode of Capitalism. No one should be working this way:

What is your opinion on how to fight worker right abuses by big companies bent on squeezing workers for profits? How to make the corporate world change? Your opinion?

South Korea reduced the number of hours employers can require from their workforce to 52 hours per week from previous 68 hours per week under a new labor law that kicked in from 2018. This is one of the few legislative achievements by the outgoing Moon administration. In Japan, it is called "karoushi"(overwork death) that is the original term for "gwarosa" in Korean. Overtime work hours, which are working hours exceeding 8 hours per day or 40 hours per week, cannot exceed 45 hours per month since 2019.

The government-mandated reduction in working hours was introduced in 2018, when the National Assembly approved a Bill that did away with laws permitting a whopping 68 hours a week of work.

The old regime allowed employers to insist their staff toiled for 40 regular hours, 12 hours of overtime and then up to 16 more hours on weekends.

The new 52-hour rule holds exceptions for workers in certain transportation and healthcare industries, but requires a break of at least 11 continuous hours between work shifts.

The rules were phased in from July 2018, when companies with over 300 employees were required to comply. From January 2020, the law covered companies with headcounts above 50.

Now here, you and I can find some common ground. To prevent workers from being overworked brutally in such a way, it is necessary to have both unions and strong national laws requiring all states to abide by them that support unions and the right of workers to organize and to be heard in the workplace. In addition, it is necessary to overhaul the global corporate tax rules and ensure that no matter where corporations offshore to, they will be paying their fair share of taxes.
