House Bill (HB) 500, which is to be heard in the House Small Business and Information Technology Committee Wednesday, would take away Kentucky workers’ rights to lunch and rest breaks at work and would eliminate pay protections, including for time spent traveling to and from a job site during work hours. It is an assault on longstanding basic rights and dignities on the job that will harm practically all Kentucky workers. Specifically, HB 500:
Repeals the requirement that employers provide a lunch break. Currently, businesses must provide a lunch break every three to five hours, but that right would be eliminated under HB 500. Instead, HB 500 says only that a worker required to keep working without a lunch break can’t be denied pay if they juggle eating something while on the job.
The good news is, the company is getting flooded with one star reviews on Yelp because of this.

They responded to all of the reviews saying politics are not relevant and they are reporting the review to yelp. Even on an old review that said they never showed up What a piece of shit.
“Hurting our hard working employees is the exclusive privilege of our company owner and sponsor of the bill you’re complaining about, Representative Phillip Pratt [R]” /s
Asshole. He can’t do that to the Angie’s List reviews though.
Yelp is a mafia and anything on there website should not be trusted.
