1. Yes, US government should "regulate" the global workforce considering the effect of worker’s safety rights on global and developing economies
2. No, U.S. companies does not have a legal duty to their foreign employees working outside the jurisdiction of the United States.
Explanation:
1. No, U.S. companies does not have a legal duty to their foreign employees working outside the jurisdiction of the United States because federal employment laws do not apply to foreign employees stationed overseas
Regulations are frequently discussed only in the context of their threat to job creation, while their role in protecting lives, public health, and the environment is ignored.
The direct cost of complying with regulations translates into increased employment.
2. No, U.S. companies does not have a legal duty to their foreign employees working outside the jurisdiction of the United States because federal employment laws do not apply to foreign employees stationed overseas
In the case of an exemption, it only applies to US citizens working in a US controlled firm abroad.
US employers who would be normally required to comply with US laws that stretch past the territorial borders of the United States can sometimes dodge legal responsibilities by using the foreign laws defense.
Basically, the foreign laws defense argues that to adhere to a US law would violate a law of the host country of their workplace location.
However, U.S. companies does not have a legal duty to their foreign employees working outside the jurisdiction of the United States because a US company cannot transfer foreign employees to these locations with the intention of discriminating against them since those locations are no longer held to the standard of American law.
