Glenn Grothman, the Republican Assistant Majority Leader of the Wisconsin Senate, is fighting to make sure that workers can avoid such horrible burdens as rest and pleasure with family.
Since not a day goes by in this topsy-turvy, Mad Max world that Republicans are trying to create, State Senator Grothman is pushing to overturn a Wisconsin law that employers have to provide employees one day off. Seeing as Mr. Grothman is painfully single obviously he wouldn’t mind being away from home 7 days a week.
In any case, Wisconsin is rapidly losing out on labor growth due to its anti-worker policies.
Glenn Grothman Thinks Seven Day Work Week Brings Freedom To Employee
In a email obtained by Huff Po, Senator Grothman is trying to pass legislation that would allow an employee to “voluntarily choose to work without one day off.”“Right now in Wisconsin, you’re not supposed to work seven days in a row, which is a little ridiculous because all sorts of people want to work seven days a week,” Grothman told The Huffington Post.
today's right wing idiot of the hour, c'mon even die hard republican voters can't agree with the crap that's been coming from their party lately hell before too.
i really seriously believe they are trying to tank the party but now i'm unsure who's doin' who here. but either way i'll settle for a flame out.
The law that Glenn Grothman also called “goofy” and undoing it is a matter of “freedom,” is one in which the state’s employers must afford employees with at least one period consisting of 24 consecutive hours of rest in each calendar week.However, it seems an employee could work for up to 12 consecutive days so long as “the days of rest fall on the first and last days of the 2 week period.” But while this law change seems innocuous at first glance, it can (and will) lead to employer abuse.Ross Eisenbrey, Vice President of the Economic Policy Institute, believes that such a change could lead to employers forcing their employees to work the extra time.“It’s a very hard thing to know whether something is truly voluntary or not,” said Eisenbrey. “If the employer puts pressure on people and lets them know they will be unhappy if workers exercise their right to have a day off, that might be enough so that no worker ever does anything but volunteer to work seven days a week.”
the really scary thing here is this guy means it and with the other imbecilic things said by others that quite a few on that side would support such a tyrannical act. if you don't take these rants as serious act like you do and vote accordingly or you can be the one with the uncertainty in your life, big time.
