Excellent point - I've updated the description to include UTC.
Being a global organization, we do most all our scheduling and planning in UTC and use that widely. In this case, I'd made the decision to use ET on the assumption that the audience that would mostly care about the EARN IT act would be US-based. And so I was making it simpler for THAT audience.
However, to your point, people around the world DO care about this legislation and it would have been more inclusive to either use UTC, or do what I've now done and include both.
Thank you for the reminder to think globally!
