    DIrtbags: Bill to revoke child laborer lunch breaks

    https://www.yahoo.com/news/required-...192258129.html

    and look what the bills sponsor owns. what a piece of scum

    BATON ROUGE, La. (BRPROUD) — The Louisiana Legislature is looking to roll back some of the child labor laws. It could have an impact on break times for children.
    HB156 removes the state’s requirement for minors to take a 30-minute meal break if they work for at least five hours. The bill is being carried by state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who owns a number of Smoothie King franchises across the state. He believes removing the rule is a positive thing.
    Under current state law, anyone under 18 has to be given a 30-minute break if they work five hours. Wilder said the law is outdated and that teens should be able to decide if they want a break and save businesses from facing fines and paperwork.

    Poor kids I bet you were treated with velvet gloves when you worked at the restaurants as a youngster. I highly doubt it. So why whine now.

    I worked my ass off in restaurants. everyone got a 15 min break and a 30 min lunch. it didn't matter what your age was we all got treated the same and that was the case from the time I was 12 working in the family restaurant to in my 30s managing one. That bill is bull crap

    Easy solution - speak with your dollars and don't visit Louisiana, the same as I refuse to visit California due to your laws there.
