Labor laws written in 1930 are outdated for the modern world. At the National Center for Policy Analysis, we believe the private sector workforce should have access to the same choices that federal government employees have. For example, in 1978, federal legislators provided federal government workers comp time in lieu of overtime wages. The same choices should be extended to the private sector. Flexible workplaces are good for federal AND private sector employees. Leila Narvid is right on the money when she talks about flexible work arrangements and the problems associated with such.
