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.
I don’t understand how anyone can vote for these ridiculous ghouls.
Because libtards bad!
Sigh, they are so brainwashed they would literally eat shit if it means they’ll “win”
A lot of it is these types of things don’t apply to them, and they don’t care what happens to other people. In my experience conservatives tend to be very selfish.
Because people are not, in general, rational and aware.
The republicunts are well practiced at saying the meaningless words to their base that make every abuse patriotic.
In the Kentucky State House of Representatives, Republicans usually have weak-to-no opposition on the ballot in rural areas. There is a dearth of democrats in these local races, mostly because you don’t want to out yourself as different in a community that votes 99% Trump.
it’s easier to let fox news and tribalism do the thinking.
