    See above post, it fully addresses the lies and deception of workers who clearly cannot handle the task they agreed to do. So what drove the study? Why is it sacred and its validity unquestionable?

    I'm starting to see the real reason jobs are moving out of America. You'd like to think it's profits, and tax codes etc so you don't have to admit the truth...and in some part I'm sure it is, however threads like this shine a light on the other reasons...Americans are a bunch of whiny babies.

    Really....making beds is too tough now it seems. Why wouldn't jobs leave to places where people actually just do them and quit crying that work isn't as fun as a hobby.

    Maybe in California, but my cursory search came up empty for these requirements, maybe you'd like to provide them.

    However, I certainly don't expect the state to step and provide me with a few conveniences to maximize my comfort. If I want a ergo keyboard or a wrist pad then I'll go buy it. If she wants a longer broom/mop handle, go buy it. As for the sheets... if making a bed is too stressful maybe you ought to find a different career.

    This one is, your point is moot.

    They do, she's pushing for ones with longer handles along with the fitted sheets. I'm getting the feeling you didn't read anything about this, found my post and started frothing at the mouth and banging on the keys.

    And so here's the real reason hotel workers need such enforcement:

    It's about preventing injury and lowering heath care costs . . .

    No it can't.

    There is nothing new about this problem and its has been ongoing for decades.

    Laws are being passed because employers DID NOTHING! And they react by offering no alternatives except to say not force the employer to be responsible!

    We know this happens because maids are low income, low status workers, often illegal, often transient, who are unlikely to be covered by workman's comp, or when they are, are intimidated from filing claims.

    And as I pointed out elsewhere, the laws about keyboards etc. passed with no objections from the hypocritical Right because computer users WOULD complain, sue and see the doctor.

    Sparks is, of course, pointing out inaccuracies in arguments, which is a target rich environment when the talk media right is involved. Beyond that there is the cost/benefit analysis, something that the fanatical will exhibit no interest in (although they trumpet the overall cost loudly).

    Death Grip is actually arguing that workplace safety regulations should not exist.

    Next requirement will be lighter axes for loggers, smaller rocks for stone masons, tiny bricks for bricklayers, less electricity in powerlines for electric workers...

    My eyes are pretty tired from staring at a computer screen, someone should massage them daily.

    No, the next requirement will be that the right-wing think before the open their mouths.

    ROFL! Making beds is not a "workplace safety" issue unless you are a business, job, and economy destroying liberal who wants control over virtually every facet of others lives.

    Mmm, its so nice to see good ol' misogynistic racism is alive and well in the hospitality industry management!

    The sad part of your comment is that the reason your heroes hire "hispanic """""""es" t do their work is because:
    A. They are often illegals and therefor far cheaper than sturdy Russian workers! B. The Right works hard to ensure Hispanics' fear and marginalized status and resists any government efforts to find legal solutions to the issue while concurrently these Right Wing hypocrites hire the illegals wholesale!

    Employers make sure illegals don't USE workman's comp even if they are technically covered!

    There are few scum lower than these illegal employers in the business world.

    The problem with your post is that liberals don't want any logging, stone work, or more electricity as they have proven by shutting down the logging industry in huge ways, crushed the stone/quarry industry, and you can't even build a new power plant in the United States without severe liberal costs added on.

    They don't want any real work to happen or the economy to grow.

    Bitter, perpetually outraged leftist dreamers, schemers, druggies and frauds...

    deem trading ones labor for currency as a form of slavery...a "forced" interruption to hedonistic pursuits that 'government' should fund.


    And they, as events unfolding in the UK demonstrate, will pitch a childish fit if they don't get their way.

    This place would have 99% less posts, if we applied it to both ideologies then there might be no posts at all...

    That's right. Just mine. My kids make theirs.

    But why does there need to be a LAW about how beds are made in motels/hotels?

    Workers have been whining since the beginning of time, that's not new or only decades old.

    What's the employer supposed to do? Put people on straw mats for the night? Its a customer driven industry and people like mattresses for some reason. That means people need to change sheets and lift those mattresses, which is part of the job description. If they can't do it, they aren't qualified for the job.

    If they are illegals, they shouldn't be here anyway, odd they'd be intimidated by one law, but not the one that is supposed to keep them out. I'll shed no tears for those criminals.

    There are already workplace laws for your display, keyboard design and ergonomic positions.

    Why aren't you out protesting that, and getting a milk crate to sit on with a $5 keyboard and display emitting radiation to show your solidarity with employers rights to screw their employees?

    I did a quick search and haven't found them. I'm a software designer and have a normal keyboard, standard flat panel monitors and the same kind of chair that virtually every other person in the office has. So either the fortune 500 company I work for doesn't follow the laws or they don't exist.

    I'm guessing you're just making crap up.

    I'm a libertarian (at least in the way Americans use the term), so 'my group' is pretty small around here. Just so happens I agree with those on the right in this case.

    This isn't something that needs legislation to resolve.

    More likely you work for a criminal enterprise that profits off the labor of schmucks that haven't figure out how to properly complain to liberals yet.

    Nearly a month of paid time of a year, some of the best benefits available... if this is being exploited then I'm ok with it...

    Maybe that's the difference, conservatives accept their exploitation, liberals cry about it.

    Why does there need to be a LAW about any workplace safety/injury issue?
