(As is the case in other areas such as the environment and immigration, Trump is having a massive and malevolent impact through executive orders rather than legislation. Below are articles about how overtime pay protection for low-wage workers and regulations that ensure that truck drivers get sufficient sleep are being rolled back. This all goes back to chapter 10 of V. 1 of Marx's Capital. "The capitalistic mode of production (essentially the production of surplus-value, the absorption of surplus-labour), produces thus, with the extension of the working-day, not only the deterioration of human labour-power by robbing it of its normal, moral and physical, conditions of development and function. It produces also the premature exhaustion and death of this labour-power itself. It extends the labourer’s time of production during a given period by shortening his actual life-time.")
