To give workers the autonomy to keep working if they want to? /j

TX recently passed a law that invalidates/prohibits local ordinances mandating water breaks.
It’s not just that the laws aren’t there, it’s also because people like Abbot are doing everything they can to remove those protections.

Oh man you’re right. I haven’t heard that in a long time. I just saw Deltron live, too, I should’ve recognized that. Thanks!

Because those workers elect people who oppose any benefit to them.

Not always, there’s a lot of people involved in elections and it takes a majority AND having to get past decades of gerrymandering to make it happen.

I’ve noticed that labor laws don’t really work in America anyway. Most of my jobs I’ve had in my life have been operating under several OSHA violations, and my current job tops the cake on that front, daily there are likely dozens of OSHA violations, but OSHA doesn’t do jack fucking shit about any of it, inspections hardly exist, and when they do management mysteriously knows they are coming and what to hide.

Because US makes laws are reactionary.
