OMG....GOP Reps Offer Bill to Eliminate Lunch Breaks for Workers

[DonRedwood]

Just when i think these guys have gone so far that the people will fight back, they go even farther! It's against the law to not feed an animal...maybe the employees can sue for cruelty to animals?

I hope people snap to their senses and vote these clown out sooner than later.

1. One of the Reps putting this forward

is 20 years old and a "fast food professional." What pray tell, is a fast food professional and how do you get to be one and a Rep at the age of 20?

3. A fast food professional...

is someone who starts flipping burgers in high school, and keeps on doing it once he graduates because he can't get a job anywhere else.

The "Rep at the age of 20" part is what's confusing me. Most places you have to be 25.

They are a bad idea factory.

5. There Will Be A Time

There will be a time when a line will have to be drawn in the sand. And workers will have to fight back. And it won't be pretty. These people will never quit until they are stopped and overrun politically.

6. The war on workers continues.

9. Just what I thought.

Sooner or later people will start demanding a union again.

8. Can you imagine if you were a seasonal worker?

When you are a seasonal worker, the more vegetables and fruit they pick, the more money the employers make. They want a free pass so that they can have people in the fields 14 hours a day with no breaks given.

Talk about wanting to go straight back to serfdom and slavery.
