A Really Shitty Court Decision NathanNewman.org - News and Views
I wish conservatives (or liberals) would get upset about this kind of judicial activism. This decision by the Eighth Circuit overrode a requirement by the Department of Labor that an agribusiness company provide toilets near where workers labored.
You can read through the decision, but it's a torturous bit of judicial second-guessing of the labor department with the simple goal of making exploited agricultural workers lives as miserable as humanly possible.
Apparently, demanding that a toilet be available within a quarter mile of where you labor in the fields is too much decency to ask.------------------------------------------- posted 7:26 PM :: reference link ::
