I was involved in running an NUS Student Union years ago, and back then there was a political power struggle between the left and the right (So nothing has changed). Whe you have arseholes like Wes Streeting as NUS President, you can always expect shitty takes from them.
(I need to replace this keyboard, it is dropping letters and the thought of Wes Streeting as US president is even more horrifying than what he is in reality)
New legislation proposal: If you work more than 40 hours per week, regardless of how many hours you work at one particular job (including school), youâre entitled to overtime. If youâre working a full week and also work on a holiday or weekends, youâre entitled to double time. The overtime pay is drawn proportionally from each employer. In the case of schools, it can be taken as pay or as tuition reduction.

Off brand it is. The way my daughter goes through cereal, this is one boycott where my family can make a painful impact!
One of her nicknames is the Cereal Killer.
Groovy!
Christ, what assholes.
Why isnât there a law against firing striking workers?
Starbucks workers at Buffalo store vote to unionize
Time for Starbucks to fire them all?
There are laws protecting striking workers. Kellogg apparently thinks the hassle of dealing with an after-the-fact lawsuit is better than having its plants shut down.
There are all kinds of laws, and corporations regularly and often with impunity ignore them. 
Laws only matter if the courts and police do their jobs properly and abide by the law. Violating the law and paying a penalty of some kind later is a pretty well-worn tradition among corporations (as you say). It just âmakes more sense for the bottom line.â
TLDR, we donât live in a nation of laws - we live in a nation of two sets of laws - one for most of us and one for corporations.
Waiting now for Bidenâs rousing endorsement of these heroesâŚ
Thatâs true-as I mentioned Kellogs is willing to assume the risk. The NLRB has been getting some traction in the courts recently, so this might not go as planned, especially as employees are being way more picky about where they work.
Given that we just got our first unionized Starbucks, organized labor might be pushing itâs way back into public life in the US, which would be great. Itâs going to be a tremendous help to have an executive branch that has a history of actual pro-labor positions and that has strong ties to organized labor historically (meaning Biden). That was one missing piece with both of the last couple of Democratic administrations - more lip service to organized labor than any real connections and support for it. The fact that his labor secretary has a history in labor unions is great news as more workers are trying to exert greater control over their work environments against employers.
Not enough time off.
