    The bill have allowed 16 year olds to work 8 hours over night with no lunch/meal break while also attending school during the day. It’s slave labor.

      Isn’t his state the same one that removed worker’s protections from heat, like mandatory water and cooling breaks for outdoor workers? Or was that Texas? Fuck both him and Abbot in the temple with a crowbar, either way… Fucking ghouls.

        Yeah, FL not just removed it, they stated no local areas could implement their own and that contractors were banned from implementing anything of the sort for their employees. Not sure if anyone has checked on hospitalization/ death from heart exhaustion or heat stroke since that was signed in to law.

          Which I’m surprised no cities have challenged this as a sovereignty issue.

          Well, not that surprised, but if you’re a city government and figure out that a state government can just completely nullify your labor protections…well, it raises questions of just how much actual legal power you have.

          I know that legal power and legal challenges mean absolutely nothing now, considering everything, but still, I’m surprised that the Florida SC hasn’t been hit with questions of “hey I thought we had a right to self-organize”.
