Ann Marie Buerkle: How About Re-instituting 12-Hour Workdays and Legalizing Child Labor?

Ann Marie's troop leader Darrell Issa and the rest of the Tea Baggers are looking to roll us back to pre-labor-rights days.                   
Some of the items they want to look at, all under the heading, The Government is Too Damn Big, showed up yesterday in the Washington Post and the Syracuse Post-Standard:

Reconsidering rules

Businesses have asked House Republicans to roll back or pre-empt more than 150 rules governing industries from Wall Street to those who make cleaning products for your bathroom, according to documents obtained by the Washington Post. The newspaper said Monday that the targeted regulations include:

Financial disclosures: Financial regulations that require companies to disclose how much the chief executive is paid compared to how much the typical worker is paid.

Worker rights: Rules that require mining companies to disclose information about mine safety and health information and labor regulations that require employers to post notices informing workers of their rights under federal labor law.

Limits on hours: Transportation regulations that limit the number of hours airline pilots can be on duty between rest periods.

Emissions: Environmental and energy regulations on greenhouse gas emissions and fuel economy standards for cars, trucks and commercial vehicles; and limits on hazardous air pollution from trash incinerators.


Damn it! I want my pilots rested, and I want our miners to know their rights! If Ann Marie is so hot on choice for business, why isn't she hot on choice for women?
