[allvol123]

There are countless reasons to berate this, but you would think given the tight labor market, this is something employers can decipher for themselves.

the sponsor of the bill was a nurse - how is a nurse supposed to do the job sitting down? Rascal scooter?

It's the fact that the state continues to dictate and to take more liberties away

I recall when I was thirteen, me and a couple of other boys about the same age working one summer loading/unloading 100lb bags of fertilizer. An old black man named Charlie Jones got on to us: "You boys love your asses too much" because every time things slowed down, we tended to sit and that kind of ended our sitting down behavior.

Miss that old man. Great stories from and about him.

So now the government is going to tell us when we can sit down.

Let me guess. Standing at a job disproportionately affects people of color and is therefore racist. So we need a bill to stop the systematic racism towards people of color.

Liberal paradise

Sitting is the new smoking, I'm told.

 

[GroverCleveland]

Only the government could look at an overweight, diabetic population and conclude the problem is we do not sit enough.

Didn’t they just come up with desks where you could stand? Standing is better for you, unless it isn’t now? Lol

Nurses want to sit and chart, but they also need to round, pass meds, check on patients it may be an issue of not having enough places to sit? But if you have too may chairs then everyone sits and socializes all shift and night shift keeps their patients awake being too loud.. I’ve worked places where we would take a chair or two away per night shift because it was so bad.. and patients had less complaints This is more an issue for one to take up with their individual employer and/or nursing admin (like me lol) not a sweeping law or regulation (we already have too much of that already)..Rant over. Lol.. oh, yeah, we also tried placing chairs far away from each other in the unit, and they always migrate lots if flirtation and scandals lol
