A Louisiana House committee voted Thursday to repeal a law requiring employers to give child workers lunch breaks and to cut unemployment benefits — part of a push by Republicans
Headline makes this look like a law was passed. It passed committee and is going to the floor for a vote. And then the Senate. And then the governor’s desk. This is far from being a done deal.
9 of 10, or more, outrageous headlines are like this around here. Yet I would wager every one of you thinks a law was passed from reading the headline.
The point is to show the disgusting behavior of Republican politicians, that they would even THINK of proposing such horrible laws, while prancing around pretending to be good Christians and “protecting” the people
On a party line vote, this is a done deal. You haven’t been paying attention to Louisiana politics, I take it? They’re in a phase right now of revenge passing whatever right wing bills they can because, for the first time in 8 years, we have a republican governor who won’t stop them.
Why the fuck are they even trying to pass it though? Shouldn’t they be working on something to help people? How is this kind of law benefiting anyone but the employers?

Given the makeup of the Legislature and who our current Governor is this is pretty much a done deal.

Just curious: what do you think of this law?
