(Reuters) - Democratic White House hopeful Elizabeth Warren on Tuesday said that if elected she would require employers of 15 or more to post work schedules at least two weeks in advance, in a bid to tackle unpredictable and last-minute scheduling.

If an employee seeks a change to accommodate caring for a family member, attend training or educational classes or a second job, employers would have to accede to the request unless they provide a “legitimate business reason” why not, according to a preview of the plan Warren detailed on the website Medium.

Gee, so employers would be required to post schedules two weeks in advance...but would also be required to give employees requested time off.

Oh sure, that'll work. People start calling off, and you're not allowed to call in anyone to replace them. Good thinking.

this is a bridge too far.

You can’t micro manage every business in America, from Washington DC. You can’t micro manage the details of running every business from a bureaucrat’s office.

But we know, these liberal activist types, who have never run a business, don’t know that. They are clueless about what I just mentioned.

The stupid it burns. What a clueless idiot. Many part time jobs are as needed and upredictable and that’s fine the millions of those who use the jobs for income supplement. Moron.

On this political commentarist Tim Pool said, (approximately) “Suppose you are running a restaurant with inside tables and takeout. You’ve posted your schedules, but suddenly the weather turns bad and you’ll have little or no need for wait staff but a big need for delivery drivers. Now, you would just change the schedule. But under Warren’s plan there isn’t time. So, you will have wait staff doing nothing and takeout orders you will be forced to decline. As a owner, you likely can’t survive very much of that.”

Who decides what’s “legitimate”? Marxist snowflakes in Berkenstocks?
