Kentucky’s House Bill 500 jeopardizes worker rights, eliminating breaks, employer liability, and longstanding protections, raising concerns about fair labor practices.
NEW “House Bill 500 leaves it to the employer to decide if they will provide an unpaid lunch break or force workers to juggle eating while on the job.”
“Additionally, at present, employers must provide at least a 10 minute rest period for every 4 hours of work in addition to a scheduled lunch period. House Bill 500 repeals that requirement.
The Government Does Not Care About You. You’re Already Working Your Life Away To Still Be Broke Now & Now This?…
This legislation is attempting to be passed for Kentucky but if they’re successful you know they’ll try to take it nationwide.

That is just mean spirited and counterproductive.
This seems stupid
What kind of morally corrupt idiot would ever think this is a good idea?
Busy addressing more non-problems I see.
Probably the same one profiting off of slave labor being escorted into the United States.
Folks,
we should be excited about removing ANY law or regulation.
Let the market place work it out. Govt should not be involved.
Anybody fined for this law in the last 20 years. THEN GET RID OF IT.
Talk about fiddling while Frankfort burns...
Note to the legislature: SECURE YOUR BLEEPING ELECTIONS.
It’s being sponsored by the Republicans.
Won’t need ‘em anymore. These new illegal alien worker replacements can go all day without a break while carrying three toddlers on their hips.
Until we restore our republic, all the rest of this is a time-wasting, headline grabbing distraction.
PA did something similar. I know an older person who got fired for following the old rules and took a lunch break. All of the illegals who came here to work won’t care if they don’t get a break.
There you go. The illegal latins are also mostly short of stature, making them ready made to scuttle around picking vegetables and other produce.
They were trying to pass something like this in Texas too?
What’s the rationale here?
Until we restore our republic, all the rest of this is a time-wasting, headline grabbing distraction.
People like you think there is a magic bullet to change things.
It is going to take a generation of small things to change things.
It’s only going to get worse.
“we should be excited about removing ANY law or regulation.”
I was amazed to see the number of posts in favor of government mandates!
“What’s the rationale here?”
One size does not fit all.
Like the late Rush Limbaugh, I live in Realville.
Until we restore our republic, the rest is moot.
