If you come at every discussion about economics as if you are an oppressed employee as opposed to the small business owner or an employee entering into a voluntary mutually beneficial contract, then you are going to rally for state interference in everything concerning your employment. Unfortunately, there are so many negative and obvious unintended consequences that the workers are harmed more than if they would have been more "economically free".
The balance of power is tilted in the employer's favour, and therefore additional regulation is required to restore balance.
The US employer has powers that businesses only dream of in other developed countries. It's time that US employment law was harmonised with the rest of the world and not the other way around.
Demographics are shifting. We will end up electing representatives to government who will eventually harmonise labour law.
