My story on @hs.fi

For non-Finnish speakers, here's the gist:

Haastattelu | Ukrainasta kaapattuja lapsia jäljittävien tutkijoiden työ uhkaa loppua

Ban the 24-Hour Workday!
In some states—New York is one of them—it is still legal to hire someone for a 24-hour shift, but to only pay them for a fraction of those hours.

Did you know that working a 24-hour shift and getting paid for only 13 hours is legal in New York State? Read my piece in @thenation.com and share it to help end this abusive practice of requiring people to work for 24 hours straight.
