For what it's worth, I meant to say:

"For what it's worth, the government is trying to phase out the more abusive workplace situations that are noted in the article."

I have no idea how that got auto-corrected into "fruit".

(For those curious, the specific acts they want to change are the rules for keeping a store open at night with only one employee.)
