House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.
“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”
I worked at a concrete yard in Ontario, Canada for a few years. Breaks due to heat were given based on temps. At one point it was 15 minute breaks with Gatorade provided - every hour.
Americans desperately need to reestablish the proper hierarchy of power.
You have removed child labor laws across a number of states, human rights are basically done, labor has returned to 19th century standards.
So much blood was lost for nothing.
Fuck communism. Socialism is fine. You don’t need the government owning every single business and paying people out income equalization and food vouchers. Put the power back in the people’s hands.
Communism is the power in the people’s hands. Classless, stateless society in which the means of production are controlled by the workers and used for the benefit of the many.
