As would I. In practice, I'd be willing to bet most folks stop and get a drink when they need it. I expect the only reason this ever became a law/rule to begin with was to be 'in line' with union rules that dictate a certain break period for line/factory workers.
Then why support any legislation that threatens that? The new law would legitimize change for the worse. Why do we need the law? Why do you (or don't you) support it?
You actually implied it in what you said. I was asking if that's what you meant. Your statement read to me as local<state<federal.
I asked, so feel free to set the record straight. Maybe you misspoke.
Your interest in my opinion despite answering for me is ... curious. In any event, I do not feel that city law should supersede federal employment law.

I was typing short responses because I was on my device instead of my laptop. (*Harder to type).
The reason for my interest was mostly trying to understand why (if) anyone would support this law. But when you said city law should not supercede federal law, it suprised me. I think (assume) you are mostly right-leaning. typically people who are on the right support less big government, and more local rule. It just surprised me is all.
My opinion: It probably was not broken, and I honestly don't understand why any group of lawmakers would waste time to make a law prohibiting laws to allow for a water break every four hours. And I'll be the first to admit, both major parties come up with some pretty stupid laws. IMO, this is one of them.
Anyway, your comment just surprised me, based on your posting history and my assumption of where you stand, so I asked for clarification.
I also think that the state law should not supercede federal law. I think it is sad that ANY law is needed to regulate or limit how much water or how many breaks a worker can have in the USA in 2021.
