Austin and Dallas require 10-minute rest breaks for construction workers every four hours. House Bill 2127 will ban local ordinances mandating rest breaks September 1. “[Texas lawmakers] are signing these bills in air-conditioned rooms. They have access to water, they can take breaks." July was the hottest on record in Austin and Houston, with the average heat index reaching 120 in Houston.

      Since you’re a Canadian you understand the scale of the united states. This is a bill that is in Texas and only Texas. I’m not going to burn down my community that’s thousands of miles away because Texas is fucked up. That would be like you burning stuff down in Canada because what’s happening in Texas. And as for why people in Texas aren’t burning shit down. . well they’re either stupid, support this to own the libs or are poor and can’t afford to lose their jobs by protesting.
