re: #86 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

It made news last year as a proposal:

Hungarians protest against ‘slave law’ overtime rules

I wasn’t sure what came of it, but it did pass their parliament:

Hungary’s ‘slave law’ passes, sparking protests in parliament and on the streets

There was this analysis that a search provided:

‘Slave act’: changes to working time rules

The exact implications of the new rules cannot be predicted. Supporters of the new rules state that they will provide those seeking additional work and earnings with a means for attaining them. It is also believed that the more flexible rules on work scheduling will attract multinationals and foster further foreign investment in Hungary.

Only time will tell whether these expectations will be fulfilled or whether further changes will be required in order to better protect employees’ rights.

That was 8 months ago, so I wonder what time has told?
