Why are Texan leaders so hateful? They always seem to be stomping on their citizens.

Indeed, and requiring a 10 minute water break every 4 hours is hardly onerous.

That's a legal requirement in the UK. America sure does hate Americans.

I think that drinking should be outlawed in general.

Making any report regarding temperatures is obviously climate change agenda, along with even mentioning slavery and jim crow is promoting woke!

Isn't it standard to have breaks every two hours? It is where I live. This law does sound confusing to me. Morning break two hours, lunch break (extended a few minutes) afternoon break, then what? Get off early, or pay for an extra few minutes after work? How does that work? The second break would be after the eight hour day, and the first during lunch break?

Fair question, i just saw this article in the guardian and found it crazy. Are you in Texas? Are there state laws regarding a break every two hours?

Yes, it is. It is also the law in Texas. The reason for the change in the law is to make the entire State consistent. The OP fell for yet another clickbait headline. And now we have all these posters convinced that Texas law forbids workers from drinking water. No wonder. That was what the article was meant to do.

Never accept anything at face value. Always examine the facts for yourself before reaching a conclusion.

this is nuts. Violations, but no law? How is that? Ridiculousness.

I suspect its all about paid and unpaid. Ie if one really needed the money they'd work through an unpaid break.

Talk about a leading (and nonsense) question! How would you respond if someone asked you "What's wrong? You like killing the planet?"?
