It sounds pretty scummy whatever one it is.
First-term state Rep. Roger Wilder, R-Denham Springs, who sponsored the child labor measure and owns Smoothie King franchises across the Deep South, said he filed the bill in part because children want to work without having to take lunch breaks. He questioned why Louisiana has the requirement while other states where he owns Smoothie King locations, such as Mississippi, don't have them, and criticized people who have questioned the bill's purpose.
“The wording is ‘We’re here to harm children.’ Give me a break," he said. "These are young adults.”
Such a civilised country, I too wish I could work 24h without breaks for our capitalist overlords.
I'm weird in that I prefer to not take a lunch brake if it means I get to leave an hour early. But, I don't eat lunch, so that's probably part of it.
