I am British.

If you need labour laws beyond basic safety stuff then you're simply not being paid enough.

I would far rather have sufficient income and therefore wealth built to be able to choose for myself whether I want to take time off.

I actually find it juvenile that people want employment to be this way.

What do they think is going to happen when they stop working? Or is the plan - again a juvenile one, seeking a parental figure - "I'll just work for a company until I die"? Have fun with that...
