'Right to Disconnect' bill

A New York City Council proposal would protect private-sector employees who don't want to get work emails and phone calls after hours. Councilman Rafael Espinal introduced the bill Thursday. Espinal's legislation is modeled after a "Right to Disconnect" law passed in France last year. His legislation would make it illegal for an employer with more than 10 workers to require employees to access work-related communications outside of normal work hours.
