Considering this is California, it's unsurprising in the least bit.

More and more, it looks to me like liberalism is a mental illness. These people are truly wacked.

I’m really hoping it gets voted in. Let those Leftists regulate CA out of existence and show everyone else just how destructive government sprawl truly is.

What’s the useful lifetime of those linens, forty or so washes through the sanitizing systems used at hotels? Something like this could be made a recommendation for new replacement linens, and there would be no waste. Why not put it up to a vote of the housekeepers at each hotel — some may still prefer that there be only one kind of sheet so there is one less kind of bed linen to sort.

Many years ago, a question to Ann Landers produced the largest number of replies ever to her column...and this was in the days BEFORE email, when you had to write the letter, put in in an envelope, put a stamp on it, and go out and mail it. The responses were in the tens of thousands...if not more, and came in for several months, until Landers was forced to announce in her column that she would not read, not print, any more comments about the topic.

So what was the question that so engaged the American public?

Well, a housewife wanted to know if, when inserting a new roll of toilet paper, should the start of the roll drop away from the outside ( away from the wall) or from the inside ( near the wall)

No dount the California legislature will take up this question soon..it's worth of their consideration..

That should be true, but nevertheless I still find myself amazed at such impossible stupidity.

I smell a fitted-sheet lobbyist handing out cash incentives to Democrat legislators.

Among the housekeepers filing complaints was Nenita Ibe, a housekeeper at the Hyatt Santa Clara for the past 10 years. Hyatt Santa Clara is a non-union hotel where workers are fighting to achieve a fair process to decide whether or not to form a union.

Nenita is a 68-year old widow and mother of 5. She came to the United States from the Philippines in 1996. Nenita remembers the exact moment she was injured on the job:

On September 4, 2009, I was making a bed at the Hyatt and I felt severe pain in my right shoulder and arm as I tucked in the sheets. I work with flat sheets and we have to push our whole arm under the mattress to make the bed correctly. I immediately reported this to the Housekeeping manager who asked me several times if I was sure I hurt myself at work. After I insisted that I never had this pain before, she directed me to go see a doctor. I went to all the therapy sessions, missing about 2 to 3 hours of work every time I went in for a check-up. I was assigned to do “light” duty – folding linen and towels, and cleaning shower curtains – which required me to use my injured arm and hands. I did not recover. I still work 8 hours a day cleaning rooms in painful anguish. I used to work with both arms and hands, but now I only have the full use of my left arm. I use my knee and left arm to lift the mattress to tuck in the sheets.

Now leaders like Kim Gandy, former President of NOW and current Vice-President and General Council for Feminist Majority, and Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) are joining women like Nenita Ibe in speaking out and shedding light on the plight of some of the most invisible members of our society. ”We have much to do in the realm of worker safety across the board – eight to twelve million workers suffer work-related injuries on an annual basis. These hard-working men and women are at risk due to overwork and other factors – factors that are readily preventable,” said Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro (CT-3). “We must do more to protect all our workers, and I am proud to stand with UNITE HERE today and say to Hyatt and other employers across the country that hotel workers will no longer tolerate being overworked and exploited at risk to their health.”

These workers are lucky. I remember my first inspection. The Captain came in flipping a silver dollar. He flipped it onto my bunk, and that dollar just laid there. He grabbed the bunk (it was bunkbeds) and tipped it over into the middle of the floor. I told him that I could possibly have a worker’s comp case in the future. He kicked me in the ass.
