Labor commissioner plows ahead Editorial, The Oregonian
Oregon Labor Commissioner Dan Gardner recently announced a change so simple, modest and self-explanatory that it won't strike most Oregonians as gutsy. It will strike them, instead, as long overdue.
The labor commissioner decreed that some of the hardest-working people in Oregon -- farmworkers -- deserve two 10-minute paid rest breaks, as well a 30-minute unpaid lunch break, each day. Obviously, we're not talking about lavish perks here. We're talking about humble guarantees for a humane working environment -- time, for instance, to go to the bathroom.------------------------------------------- posted 6:53 AM :: reference link ::
