I mean... Yeah, sure. The law also says I can't sit on non-chair public infrastructure around here, but is it really being enforced?
Retaliation and abuse from an employer is hard to prove. Fighting back takes energy and time, a thing your average middle-class and lower don't have in large quantities once they're done working. And it can be hard to explain to your next employer that you're in legal proceedings against your ex employer over your working conditions without hurting your chances to be employed in the first place. There's a world of difference between what's in law and what actually happens.
