I’ve learned that’s what’s the law and what’s done in practice are often quite different.

Eg. A tool belt may not be necessary to get your job done, so the company won’t provide one. However it may make the work experience a 100x better, so everyone is likely to have personally bought their own.

Yes, we need better laws and better enforcement. For some reason the modern conservative movement detests anything like this somehow suggesting this is in the employee’s interest because they now have more freedom.
