House Bill 2127, which takes effect on Sept. 1, will do away with local rules that require water breaks for construction workers. The cities of Austin and Dallas, for example, require 10-minute breaks every four hours. San Antonio officials had been considering a similar ordinance.

“We are human beings who need respect,” Martínez said. “We really need to be allowed to work without problems, without any barriers … Believe me, we are dying inside those buildings when they take away our water and our [break] time.”

    Put the power back in the people’s hands.

    Isn’t that what the literal goal of communism is? Under capitalism, it’s in the bourgeoisie’s hands.

    A socialist state would be great though! :)
