The GOP is trying to get passed a bill that would allow a 7 day work week.
So much for the religious right and a day of rest.
So what say you? Should this be allowed? If not, why not?

Originally posted by whodeyIf it were up to the GOP we'd all be working 7 day work weeks for $10.00 a day and no toilet breaks, and through Obama and those dirty old Liberals seek to improve wages and working conditions, they are still viewed by many as "the enemy" ...and Whodey thinks they are identical?? Hmmm.... 🙄

Originally posted by bill718I am a conservative Republican and I don't believe like that and I don't believe the GOP does either, otherwise I would not vote Republican.

Originally posted by bill718Yea, if it were up to Obama we would be making $12 an hour and probably have a free phone to go along with it.

Originally posted by whodeyWouldn’t you be in favor of the freedom of employers and employees to decide working hours among themselves, without government interference?

Originally posted by whodeyOf course it should be allowed. Why should the government mandate that you cannot work on a certain day?

Originally posted by JS357If it's not collusive then sure why not? But I'm not sure what that has to do with the question of whether the government should prohibit people from working on certain days for religious reasons.
Should people be allowed to organize and elect representatives to negotiate with corporations on their behalf?

It is relevant becuase:
" The state budget that Walker signed on Sunday as Wisconsin’s governor includes a provision that eliminates a historic guarantee that factory and retail employees “must get at least 24 consecutive hours of rest for every seven-day stretch” of work. "

Thus, if something that has been in place by law is pulled out of it, the question is, a likely question is what can the people do about it, and how do they do it? Organizing is an obvious choice.
