Description
A newly introduced bill would give California workers the right to ignore non-emergency messages and calls from their boss while they're off the clock.
California would become the first state in the United States with a "Right to Disconnect" law.
"I think working as a teacher we always bring our work home and are always working weekends. I think that would be beneficial to not give up our precious home time with our kids," said Brenda, an elementary school teacher.
She says her family would benefit from the right to disconnect.
