Gig platforms exploit workers with no benefits; banning them ensures fair employment. A 35-hour workweek reduces burnout and boosts public health.

1	Maximum Working Hours	40-hour weekly maximum with overtime controls		35-hour weekly maximum
2	Gig Economy & Platform Workers	Gig workers classified as employees with full rights (sick pay, holiday, pensions)		Gig platforms banned; all work must be traditional employment contracts
