> Texas’s Republican governor, Greg Abbott, signed a controversial bill into law on 14 June that prohibits local municipalities from enacting heat protection standards for construction workers. The bill nullifies ordinances previously passed in Austin and Dallas that mandated 10-minute breaks for workers every four hours.
How often are these guys taking breaks? 10 minutes every four hours seems like not nearly enough break time even in normal conditions. Yet somehow the governor signed a bill saying they're not entitled to even that? What is going on in USA with workers right? Is this normal?
