Pulling weeds by hand for the last six or seven thousand years was good enough. Now we need to protect day laborers. Honestly, Cal OSHA or whoever came up with this one couldn't be more absurd.
why are you using a computer to send that message? you should ride many years on a horse to each and every reader to hand deliver your post!
what is really the problem with giving them a tool if it stops them from getting back problems? i assume the tool is a puller, not a cutter.

From my experience from pulling weeds on the farm, I can tell you that it would be very hard for any device to work as well as hands. You can tell when the weed is about to break when you have tactile contact, not with a metal device. Breaking the weed off is as bad as cutting it. It'll just sprout and grow back.

I also believe the tool is a puller, which will likely mean it's faster and more productive.
Which raises the question; why haven't employers provided these tools already? The initial investment? (which could be substantial)
