I like that, I wish the same can be applied in my country. workers will have 3 days off work to take care of personal business. This will mostly be beneficial to working mums, juggling between work and taking care of the family can be stressful but an additional 1 day can be a lot helpful.
Think the major fight where I am now isn't about work hours or pay but about recognising many "freelance" workers are doing as much as part timers or full timers.
Freelancers don't get any benefit because they are not exactly employed they work based on commission and at their convenient time which is not the same as employed staff who need to work at specified working hours by the company.
That is why they are referred to as freelancers; their time is not the same as that of an employee, which is from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; their time is determined by the client, as it is mostly per project or task. However, remote workers such as virtual assistants can really benefit from this because they do the same work as employees, although remotely. I'm hoping that this has a positive impact on everyone, whether you're a freelancer or an employee, because we're all working to pay our bills.
Might have lost my point sorry if I didn't make that clear.
The freelancer today, and its legal definition, is so loose that modern employers take advantage of this. So where I live for example, it will soon be illegal for companies to hire their workers as freelancers -- when they expect the same working hours as a normal employer. Food delivery companies were the most guilty of this but I'm saying also many crypto companies who will
only hire remote like this.
So they save money because they don't pay benefits and employee tax -- but in practice are hiring full-time employees doing way more than 40 hours a week. And these guys need the job, so have no choice but to take them, while paying their own insurance and health, pensions, etc.
So was responding to the topic, but putting in relation a different sort of fight in some places. On one hand great to hear about workers rights... but what about those who aren't even recognised as employees?
