Rule changes like these are the only way to stop the race to the bottom that states like Texas are always winning. It's why labor protection rules need to apply at the largest scale possible. City, county, and state rules aren't good enough because the next municipality over is willing to skin babies to undercut you by 0.75%.
Any mayor or governor who emphasizes how good they are for business is warning workers that their health, safety, and wages WILL be sacrificed on the alter of capitalism.
