Rep. Greg Casar protests Texas Law that bans water breaks.

[petro]

Simply pointing out the total hypocrisy of the post

No.
Simply pointing out you are a one trick pony.
Trump isn't the topic.

Didn't take long for the usual clowns to divert to Trump.

You would rather talk about Hunter`s laptop, I`m sure.

It's been pretty hot here lately. The no water breaks law is being completely ignored.
It's laughable that it could ever be enforced.

The state law does not state anything about water breaks but since the state does not offer protections like water breaks to the workers the state is saying local governments can't step in and allow it.

There is no defense here. While it does not specifically state water breaks are banned, it overrules laws that require them.

Employers can now ignore the local laws that required them.

And you felt a need to defend that.

OSHA regulations cover this already.

There are already regulations in place that require things like this.
This dude did this shit for no reason. No one is going without water, legally.

Lol ..so there's complete retards out there that think employers are sitting in smoke-filled rooms, rubbing their hands together... salivating at the thought of their employees keeling over & dying from dehydration on the job? What a bunch of smooth brains.

No one is thinking that, even though the flimsy 'no water breaks' law makes it sound like that. Employers know that you can't get the work done, when half of the crew is heat stroking. You might be able to limit the water breaks in Fargo, ND, but here in Texas, the workers either drink when they need to, or they die.

Somebody was thinking that or trying to insinuate it. Rep. Casar.

If so, local laws wouldn't be needed. If it's all moot, the law over riding local laws would have been a waste of time also.

It's political theater. There is no such statute.

An employee takes a break whenever they so choose. Scheduled breaks are found in the worst most heinous places to work.

Water access is required. The break thing is probably overwritten to make it so each break takes like a half hour to get through. So in an 8 hour day, lunch, coffee, two water breaks means loss of up to 4 hours of productivity.

I work as a Construction Manager, this is what I do.

In the United States, power flows from the people to two sources, the State and the Federal Government. At the State level power then flows DOWN to the subdivisions of the State. It's called Home rule provisions, and the State can regulate local laws as said home rule laws or constitutional mandates see fit.
