Australia is gearing up to implement a groundbreaking "right to disconnect" law, which would allow workers to disregard "unreasonable calls," messages, and emails from their bosses when off the clock. The legislation is part of the ruling Labor Party's Closing Loopholes Bill, which aims to update industrial relations law in the country. The Australian Senate passed the bill on Thursday. Following in the footsteps of the West, the island nation is pushing to foster a healthy work-life balance.
