Texas GOP forbids local municipalities for mandating water breaks.

They should come to Illinois, our 3-year construction project on I-90 - causing 2 hour trips from O’Hare to the Loop in rush hour - seems like a great gig.  I’ve literally never seen a single worker out there past 3:00 pm and randomly nobody is there in the morning.

Whenever there's something truly appalling on an economic policy that screws human beings over, you always put the r in rino front and center. Well done!

Absolutely insane extremism.. and I thought that conservatives now a days respected the working clase who do physical work?

As Texas endures rising and sweltering heat conditions this summer, officials in that state warned residents and workers to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.

But, in what could be considered a great irony to many, especially considering the timing, the state's Gov. Greg Abbott signed legislation into law that would remove rules that made consistent water breaks for construction workers mandatory.

Why make it illegal for construction workers to have water breaks? Why??

They didn’t make water breaks illegal, they just made them non-mandatory. Are you capable of reading?

They forced municipalities not to require them. Which means in said municipalities those water breaks will largely disappear. Which of course is a dick move by any measurement.
