The VA General Assembly claim they 'accidently' passed a law that would give all workers the right to demand either Saturday or Sunday off. So, now the employers are up in arms trying to stop it before some poor working stiff might ask for the promised triple overtime if forced to work the entire weekend. And the courts really have temporarily suspended it from taking force! They say they're going to hold it up for 30 days and see how they can get out of it! Can you believe this? So much stink over this, which I think would be a good thing especially for people who work crap jobs and never get the weekend off, and not one bit of protest over VA becoming the first state to legally and officially ban gay civil unions?
How can you 'accidently' pass a law, even if it's a part of another bill? I've never seen this done before, by anyone, anywhere. Some rich folks must really want their money out of the pockets of the poor workers!
BTW and FYI- VA has a very liberal democratic governer (Mark Warner, no relation to John the Senator, he looks exactly like Mark Weiner who had that stupid Nickelodeon show in the early 90's) and he had the power to veto that gay union ban but did nothing.
