Is the provision just worded in a way to be intentionally misleading then?
Currently every factory or mercantile employer must allow each employee 24 hours of rest in every consecutive seven day, except for certain emergency situations
My reading of that is that currently an employee could not receive the work schedule I was describing as their normally scheduled work hours, although they could volunteer to cover a shift to work those same hours.
It's worded in such a way to obfuscate, yes. Under current law employers can't compel employees to work a seven or more day shift.They could always accept employees who volunteer to work multiple days in a row.
