Topic Reading-Vol.799-6/19/2014

Dear MEL School’s Topic Readers,
The world's strangest work laws
Still not certain if the bill is going to be enacted, it certainly draws attention from various aspects.
The highly controversial Spanish legislation requires children to take responsibilities for and obligations to their family life including showing respect for their parents and siblings, and performing household chores according to their age. Though no punishment or penalties to be imposed, legalizing such domestic issues is uncommon even for Spain where it had already legalized husbands’ responsibility to share their domestic chores and caring for their children.
There are some other unpopular or strange legal requirements or obligations in the world such as banning to contact off-duty employees via emails, mandating vigorous, thorough annual health check including measurement of waistline to ensure workers mental and physical health. In the meantime, employers in the U.S. aren’t required to provide lunch break or paid vacations.
Enjoy reading and learning how diverse work laws are in today’s highly connected world.
