“Gov. Greg Abbott gave final approval to a law that will eliminate local rules mandating water breaks for construction workers. Supporters of the law have said it will eliminate a patchwork of local ordinances across the state that bog down businesses. This problem particularly affects Latinos because they represent six out of every 10 construction workers, according to U.S. Census Bureau data.” Think of that. You talk of corporate greed and what amounts to slavery. No more will these companies be required to give these people who labor in the heat of the day, and mind you people have died in TX from the heat, a break to get water. If fact the article has this quote: “Last year, there were 279 heat-related deaths in Texas, based on data analysis by The Texas Tribune.” And you just know the fat cats were behind getting this bill passed.
