Cities have no business micro-managing a company to the extent that they can mandate breaks. On average 38 people A YEAR died from heat related causes according to the NPR report. That is half the number of be sting deaths per year; 1/10th the number of ladder fall deaths per year and 1/100th of the number of drowning.
Let's ban bees, ladders and swimming pools before we micro-manage business.
no. Republicans believe that government has a limited role
that where government has a role, it does so with the least amount of impact to liberty possible.
Where radicals at any level attempt fascist acts, one role of government is to stop the fascists. In this case, the State government is insuring that local government does not overstep its bounds.
Local labor laws that require water breaks are not fascist. Sorry, you lose.
I guess my question is if city-level requirements are so detrimental to business, why doesn't the state just let businesses do the talking and leave the city? Politicians who claim to be for more local control turning around and micromanaging micromanagers suggests they don't believe what they tout.
Seems like a ridiculous attempt to change a sensible regulation.
It has nothing to do with climate change, the heat index in Austin is in the 100-110 range all summer long which is insane to be outside working in. Why woke types have to interject social justice/climate change buzzwords into everything...seriously can Gen Z not absorb any news of consequence unless it mentions, race, climate change, or trans issues?
Does the elimination of those comments change the substance of the proposed law? Sounds like you were distracted and manipulated. Or do you support the law?
We have state and federal laws that protect workers and ensure proper rest periods. All the State of Texas is attempting here is to prevent cities from gaining the power to supersede existing state and federal employment laws with their own regulations. Cities should not have the freedom to dictate employment law for private employers.
I haven’t given the matter much thought to be perfectly honest.
As it turns out I didn’t need to, because here you are answering for me! Lucky me.
