House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.
“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”
Not the person you’re asking but we can be mad at both. Companies are evil, profit driven, employee exploiters. We know this, and we must force them to treat their workers like humans. Failure by the government to force companies to treat their workers like humans is something we should be mad at the government for.
We want the government to step in BECAUSE we’re mad at the companies and want to change the companies policies.
