Fuck them. Require a licensed doctor on site observing the workers. Fuck this I think your on drugs bullshit. Why the actual fuck would Texas take away water breaks? How much more value is that aqueezing out of your workers. I think this lady deserves WAY more than a million. You kill an employee due to neglect, pay a billion. But that’s too high. It’s supposed to be a punishment. Fuck it. A billion a year forever.
They’re taking away the workers’rights to get water breaks, not the supervisors’ rights to give them. So, if you’re a happy and compliant little drone who kisses enough ass maybe you’ll get one, and making workers’ feel the need to do things like that is where the real value in this lies for the bosses I think.
Those 5 minutes you’re drinking water COULD be spent making money for the company! Think of the bottom line! /s
That’s literally what this is. I’m sure whoever proposed the bill had a friend who runs a construction or landscaping company complaining that their workers are taking too much time on break because they’re hot.
The power dynamic is already heavily skewed in favor of the employer. Especially with construction and landscaping work, the way it tends to go is: workers need the job. The company rules with a pretty strict hand. You don’t like something, there’s the door. So you put up with stuff until you find another job or can’t take it anymore.
Take away a legal right, and that’s that. The workers and the company both know who has the upper hand. Sure, one person could try to stick up for themselves here and there, but plenty of people don’t because they’re afraid to lose their job. And it usually doesn’t change anything anyway. Even when there are laws to protect employees, companies don’t always follow them.
I’m talking mostly about non-union jobs there. Union jobs are better, but they’re not free of problems either.
And don’t forget in those industries you see a lot of workers who may not be legal so they have to put up with the companies bullshit. It’s not like they can get the law involved even if they wanted to. Companies know this and abuse their workforce heavily because of it.

You know, before this I really thought access to water was one of the few things conservatives wouldn’t have a problem with. They’re sadists

They like doing this kind of thing
That one at least makes sense (for them) since they wanna kill or deter dem voters. But yeah, nothing is off the table for them. Fuck them

It’s so insane. Let’s say they are on drugs. Does that make it okay to let them die? You should still try to get them help.
