So, if voting by proxy instead of in person makes a spending bill invalid, how about we apply that same logic to the 2020 and 2022 elections?

I’m going to stick up for the ladies...

“The Pregnant Workers Fairness Act, which was enacted in December 2022, requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations for pregnant workers. “

Why not? “Light duty” the last several weeks used to be a common practice from employers “who actually considered their employees as human beings”.

That he picked this particular part of the bill to stand on and fight is curious. I’m sure there was a whole bunch of other unconstitutional crap in the same bill that really needed to be squashed.

It’ll be appealed until overturned to support liberal views... That’s how the justice system works now.

Why not?


you don’t have an answer for that. Really?

yes, historically this has been and should now be between employer and employee.

You want the federals govt to define reasonable? and redefine it and ...........................

YOU do not have a Thinking Cap.

The law permited workers to seek reasonable accommodations that could include leave for abortion-related care. For example, employers may need to accommodate employees seeking an abortion who must travel to another state to receive that procedure by providing additional time off.

This bill failed to get out of committee despite repeated efforts over seven years. There is probably a good reason for that.

Per the EEOC site: “The House Committee on Education and Labor Report on the PWFA provides several examples of possible reasonable accommodations including the ability to sit or drink water; receive closer parking; have flexible hours; receive appropriately sized uniforms and safety apparel; receive additional break time to use the bathroom, eat, and rest; take leave or time off to recover from childbirth; and be excused from strenuous activities and/or activities that involve exposure to compounds not safe for pregnancy.”

Flex time and designated parking?

Isn’t much of this already covered under FMLA and FLSA?

And who knows where the interpretation of “reasonable accommodations” will end up. Typical camel’s nose under the tent concept. Is a powered massage chair a reasonable accommodation? A separate room to take a rest and nap? Just find one judge in America to say so, and it’s the law of the land.

Arrest the one person that caused this: Pelosi.

Don’t allow “hide in the flock” abandonment of responsibility for the individual that performed the breaking of the law.

It’s not a “just the way it’s done” philosophy. It’s not just the way it’s done.

Congress don’t need no stinkin’ rules. Hey, it’s everybody else’s money. They need to start paying out of their own pockets.

When Republicans took control of the House in 2022, they ditched the proxy rule after challenging it in court unsuccessfully.

Ah!

But which court, and which judge? This appears to matter greatly in our phony, cr@p third world banana republic "justice" system.

In this case, Wesley Hendrix is a Trump judge.
