What this means in reality is that bosses can force workers to work seven days and get rid of ones who won't. It's just another in a series of pro-capital anti-labour laws passed by a state Governor who is bought and paid for by a couple of billionaire fossil fuel magnates. It should not be allowed.

What is important is output per hour worked, not number of hours worked. For instance, French workers produce more in their 35 hour workweek than American workers do in 47. But increased productivity means increased investment and training in/of labour by business. It's cheaper just to force people to work long hours and deny them the right to organise so you can pay them as little as possible.
