What laws pertaining to work do you think would be good to have? I would like to see a law that employers are not allowed to make an employer work more then 9 hours a shift. Working more then that much is not good for you physically, mentally or for your family life. Now if employees want to work more that is their choice but it should be that a choice.

You can choose to NOT work for an employer who wants more than 9 hours a shift.
No law necessary!
Limit use of temp agencies for a position to 6 months max after which mandate that the company has to hire the worker and that there be no or minimal restrictions for them to do so or let them go and leave the position vacant.
Noncompetes are automatically illegal except for narrow exceptions. This is a no-brainer as it is against the very principles of capitalism.
Make it easy for applicants to sue manufacturers of psychometric tests. They are quackery whose false claims are hurting innocent job seekers.
Companies that post fake jobs or interview with no intention to hire are despicable and should be liable for wasted time. Especially the ones that use the interview as a way to get free consulting on a real project.
Managers that slander former employees because they are sociopaths should be personally liable as well as their employing company.
Companies that lie about former employees at UI hearings should be subject to arrest and prosecution for perjury as well as heavy fines. Same with executives lying to congress about STEM shortages and fraudulently use the h1b program like Disney and Southern Edison.

You can but that may not be a better job. There is no reason people need to work for more then 9 hours if more hours are needed then another employer is needed.

We have far too many federal laws already, and don't need any more. We all have the freedom to work wherever we want and to leave if we don't like the employer's legal but negative practices in hiring and compensation.
because businesses frequently have no ethics, capitalism tends to nurture and reward peoples' worst attributes and in an employers market employers have huge leverage over workers who need to survive, there is a place for govt to set at least a minimal morality level by which companies need to operate so as not to disgrace the entire country and abuse workers.
No Federal contracts if a company does not have most of the money or vast majority going to those doing work (professionals and semi professionals) such as scientists, engineers, geologists, lab techs, nurses, doctors or whatever the Federal contract is about. If it is going mostly to management and model of the company is lots of layers and highly paid middle management then no Federal contracts.
Just the ability to have vacation time move from job to job. Not that I can ever take more than two weeks anyway, but I find it depressing that having worked 22 years full time I would have to go back to two weeks should I leave of get laid off. And this is something that is almost impossible to negotiate when considering a new position.
