SB 2016-059 - Employees Rights Act (Debating)

[Anna Komnene]

I think the thing is about section 6 is even without this bill, employers are still doing all that stuff.  The only thing that would stop them is if we made a law (in this bill or somewhere else) that prohibited it.  I don't think it makes sense to stop employers from using CCTV because they're going to use it anyway to monitor customers.  I think the point is to try to regulate it so that employees know what's going on.  I'd probably support getting rid of bag searches though.  If there's a reason to search someone's bag, the police can get a warrant.  Employers shouldn't be acting like police.

On the work hours for students, I empathize with the need to focus on school, but there's some families that really need the money to survive and I lean toward giving them the right to do that, which I think is more important than their education (sadly).

Is there legislation that makes attendance compulsory for high school students?

I don't think there is anything in Atlasia.  The reset put everything on US law, so generally it is, but it varies based on the state.  Some states require students to stay until they're 18 and others allow them to leave earlier.  I assume the reset included state law, but I actually have no idea on that.
