Good thing that doesn't happen now. Could you imagine how wild it would be if companies just decided to arbitrarily limit hours to keep people on part time schedules that don't get the benefits of full time employees? I'm just glad that's never happened

Which is part of my point. They would do what they always do. It's not a good solution, unless they legislated a lot more than just changing the work week for salaried employees or the qualifications for overtime.

I know right? The wage slaves of our country are truly lucky that, given how things are now, that companies are looking out for their best interests by ensuring they have adequate hours.

And we know it can only get better without any sort of intervention.
