Still waiting for someone to explain how no longer being able to force your employee to work 24/7 stops that employee from sucking Mammon's dick as much as they want.
I worked 18 hr days all last week at the BJC, made about $5k and slept about 4hrs a night. Nobody was able to stop me, except myself...

You've never established how people are "forced" to write email in any circumstance, much less the bizarre circumstance you've decided to become emotionally invested over.

They were asked to read emails (and presumably respond to them) in their own time.
I mean I get your point, workers rights are bad for capitalism.
I asked my crew to work long days but was able to pay them well. If we had all stopped after 48 hrs we would have earned less and the jugglers would have had to go to the vegan burger stall instead of eating real food.
Everyone had the right to say ''fuck you Monte'' after 48hrs without losing their job but nobody did.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.
You don’t understand capitalism if you equate it with slave labor.
That’s actually socialism, where half or more of the fruits of your labor are stolen so the state can put your money to the correct use. Slave for the state, ol’ boy, and kept mentally in check by simpleton ruses like email laws to protect you from “capitalists”.
Right to free speech = freedom
Right to guns = freedom
Rights for employees = socialism

Word fraud. Dictating to an employer that they will continue to pay you, and keep you employed, whether or not you respond to email as your job requires, isn’t a “right”. No more than owning a slave is a right.
Blacks aren’t our slaves.
Employers aren’t your gravy train.
Another man doesn’t owe you his labor.
Another man doesn’t owe you a career or job security.
Your head is all muddled up with doublespeak, weasel words, and false definitions so it’s easy for you to jump to erroneous conclusions. In fact, you’ve been trained to do so.

While DB's framing of the issue as your supposed "socialism" versus capitalism is 95% certain to be wrong, so is your likening of people working outside of office hours as a "right of employees" issue. What matters is people get paid for their service.
What excatly is it you're imagining prevents someone getting paid for their service, just because they are called to respond to an email in their off hours?
