 The internet gives us access to almost everything, all of the time. But this should not be a two-way street, where employers can unceasingly access us. Protecting a right to disconnect and disengage from the machine - including fines for non-compliance - is the bare minimum for protecting our ability to disengage. Leisure and the freedom to do nothing is the most immediate defense against expectations of constant engagement.

Once again I find myself with little to recommend by way of improving the existing draft, which seems to me a finished version of itself. But I might find some sympathy from you, I think, when I say that it feels to me polished rather than new. If the right to disconnect means not having to answer email after hours, it is less than meets the eye. Actual efforts to defend the dignity of work and the intellectual self-development of workers require something else, which you have not invented here.
