My my! : ) Good catch.
From the Nation link:
“Currently, the law in Wisconsin requires that workers employed in a “factory or mercantile establishment” must receive “at least 24 consecutive hours of rest in every 7 consecutive days.” If an employer would like a worker to work seven days in a row for a limited period of time, then the two can jointly petition the Department of Workforce Development for a waiver. According to the office of Republican Representative Mark Born, who is introducing this bill in the State Assembly, there were 169 waivers requested in 2013 and 232 in 2014, and all of them were granted. Under the current system, the waiver requests must state the necessity for the waiver, and they are granted only for a limited period of time.”
"WI has an 8 day week?"
I've been ponder this and have concluded it must somehow tie in with global warming.
Interesting. In an article that invokes the Sabboth, the author misses the connection that God rested on the seventh day.
