New bill eliminating work break rights rings alarm bells
www.newsweek.com
The bill would strip the legal right to a lunch break.

Say goodbye to breaks and lunch when working > 6 hours a day! Kentucky says just let the feds set the rules.

      I emailed my representative here in KY about this and his response was, “I don’t get lunch most days during Session.” JFC How about writing a bill to ensure representatives are allowed to take a lunch break, instead of supporting one that takes away everyone else’s right to one? What an asshole. By the way, his name is Daniel Fister, in case any other people stuck in this hellhole state want to look up his email address and let him know how you feel about how much of a twat he is.

        In even-numbered years, sessions may not last more than 60 legislative days, and cannot extend beyond April 15. In odd-numbered years, sessions may not last more than 30 legislative days, and cannot extend beyond March 30.

        Wow the guy works a whole 30-60 days per year 🙄

        Ask him how many bags of mulch, bags of cement mix, or flats of shingles he moves in an average day during session.

      The asshole who put forth the bill owns a landscaping company. His motivation is pretty clear.
