I recall the line from a Louis L’Armor western (I think) about sit when you can, sleep when you have time, and eat when there’s food (something like that).

All good advice. Not sure we need laws about it though.

I guess there just isn’t anything important for congress to be working on right now.....geesh

“If passed, the legislation would require employers to allow employees to sit at work if it doesn’t interfere with the nature of the work.”

I guess it will take a few lawyers to sort this out.

Assembly, not congress.

New York can’t do this. If workers sit down more they’re liable to drink Big Gulps! LOL

[rightwingcrazy]

I imagine even lying down wouldn’t interfere with the nature of many work assignments. Some assignments, particularly government ones, might yield better results if they just slept through them.

That old science fiction book I read about the future where everyone laid on a bed and stared at other people on screens day and night was prescient.

This law will work well for school crossing guards! It'll also work well for professional sports.

Who needs the Babylon Bee when you have demonrat socialists proposing legislation like this? Welcome to 'Bizarro World'!

Introduced by Senator Costanza.

I’m moving to NY. The government there cares and they will fix all my problems. I will never have to worry about anything again.

Look around. So many are overweight and unhealthy. There are consequences to prosperity.

More laws....and consequences to new laws like this will be vast as well.

Work is tiring.

Who knew?

[TexasFreeper2009]

they are just increasing the pace of the transition to a fully robotic workforce with bs like this.

[eeriegeno]

Let me guess? Democrats right? Want more of this nonsense, vote democrat in November!

[gw-ington]

There's a youtube video of California Gov. Reagan as a guest on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, from the 70s. Carson asked Reagan about Americans being very worried about the weak economy and hoping the government would do something to help them. Reagan's response was (paraphrase), "The people shouldn't look to government for solutions, the government is the problem. If the government shut down for a few weeks, we the people wouldn't even miss it." Carson, the other guests, and the audience suddenly became eerily quiet, I guess they were all stunned and maybe thinking: "WTF was that all about, Reagan, everyone knows we need government for everything!"

Democrats, RINOs, and the Hollyweird crowd will never learn.

Assembly member Karines Reyes, a Bronx Democrat, is the bill’s sponsor.

Only a Dem could butt in to this minute level of a workplace environment.

Personally, one of the best things I did for myself was to purchase a height adjustable stand-up desk. I find it less tiring to stand and work at a desk than sit. I no longer suffer from backaches as I did when sitting all day.

And there was the movie “Wall•e” where humans had become so inert, they could not get out of their chairs.

Perhaps... "Sitting for Hours Is Tough" would be better???
