In fact, maybe the (proposed) law could simply state that NO employer may require of their workers to attend ANY class, seminar, or workshop for any reason other than those directly related to the nuts and bolts performance of their job.
In some cases, where people have public-facing jobs, a plastic smile might be an actual requirement, (counter help at a fast food place). People skills do have varying levels of import, and listening skills are always essential, BUT they can teach all of those things WITHOUT delving into people's childhoods.
IF an employer sees a need, a simple "Comportment" seminar would do just fine, I think. Once again, there would be no need for anything that remotely resembles "psychological," work - NO boundary violations, sleep deprivation, "sharing," etc, but more of a "Finishing School" type workshop, if you will. That should be the maximum requirement of such a nature for work.
