I suspect that tech workers already have that ability for themselves. Don't want to work 60 hours a week at Facebook? Great; don't.

What they don't have is the ability to prevent others from doing it. Personally, I like that and hated working in Germany where I was forced to stop working because of an arbitrary hours limit per week.

While that might apply to some BigCo there's large parts of tech that would really benefit from a WTD(GameDev I'm looking at you).

Yes they do. They have a law.

Vote for politicians who support such a law. Join/form a union that will campaign for that sort of law. Talk to your friends and family to tell them that such a law should be brought in.

That's the thing. I oppose such a law and prefer the status quo in the US. But others who do believe in it should feel free to lobby for such a law.
