The good intentions of legislators misfires again. Or is that still? Excerpt:

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Because of a legislative oversight, a new Virginia law requires businesses to give workers Saturdays or Sundays off if they want it, alarming some businesses with weekend and round-the-clock shifts to cover.
...
All state Sen. Frederick M. Quayle wanted to do was repeal the archaic laws banning Sunday work. His measure did that, but it also got rid of a long list of business exemptions attached to the old statute. That list was the same one attached to another obsolete statute, the "day-of-rest" law, which is still on the books.

No one noticed.
...
In a recent report, Robertson and another attorney said an increasing number of employees will probably take advantage of the law once the legislature's error becomes widely known.

No shit. Well, consider this free advertisement. Let every-freaking-body know.
