While the precise nature of the worker deaths is being investigated
i.e. desperately searching for anything else they can pin the blame on
Dude lol if I ever get told I can't have a water break Im sorry I might be murdering my boss that DAY
seems like clickbait since they talk about people between age 60 and 80 died in their own homes.
it’s not even in place yet
But come September 1, those water breaks in Dallas and Austin will no longer be mandatory. Some workers fear that bosses seeking to increase production will eliminate existing breaks.
But I imagine people who have been following this know that
In Soviet communism, people are literally worked to death because the system does not value human life, only production
I will always think about how in the USSR a local branch of the communist party literally called out a mining engineer for not taking his vacations or days off and went on at length about how important a healthy work/life balance and spending time with one's family was.
My understanding is that miners in the GDR were some of the best paid people in the country and had numerous perks and benefits to compensate them for the rigors and dangers of the job.
if there was ever a time for a strike, this is it. drive your shitty roads, Texas.
