> In a Sabbatarian economy, the right to rest – the right to do nothing of value to capital – is as holy as the right to work.

I realise this article is for American readers, and I'm not sure how to compare the holiness, but the EU Working Time Directive includes the right to a day off. It's more flexible than a simple day off, and has other rights.

Enforcement against the gig economy companies might need to be improved, but otherwise seems to work fine.
