[Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements
The protesters called House Bill 2127 the “law that kills” and said it will leave those who labor outdoors at the mercy of their employers.
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.”

What is the LeopardAteMyFace equivalent for Lemmy? Because this belongs there.
Guaranteed that the same people complaining about this water break issue now are also people who in the last election either couldn't be bothered to go vote, or voted for that clown Abbott. You vote for fascists, you get fascist policies.
