      In what way? To have consistent laws for sub contractors across the state? I promise you, on site, when people are thirsty they get their drink of water.

          Let me guess, you saw a headline, and have absolutely 0 knowledge of the industry, but you’re acting as if you’ve worked construction in 100 degree weather?

          Once you talk to people who have done that, or better yet, done it yourself, you’d understand that we don’t care about local policies ‘mandating’ water breaks. We drink water perpetually throughout the day.

          Edit: Lol downvotes from people who have never worked construction in 100 degree weather telling someone who has how we drink water. I was hoping this wouldn’t just be another r/politics sub, but it appears I was wrong.

            Then what is your grievance with requiring it?

              Why do we need government requiring me to drink water?

              Waste of government time, tax payer dollars, administration costs all so some politician can pat themselves on their back.

              How would you like it if I walked into your office and dictated your time?
