HB 500 is an assault on longstanding basic rights and dignities on the job that will harm practically all Kentucky workers.

    Funny the sponsor of this bill is the president and owner of a lawn and landscaping company. I imagine he’s probably mad he has to pay his workers fair wages and just wants more money in his pockets.

    If a company hires you and you live 90 minutes from a job, that company damn well should pay for your trips. You can agree not to, and that’s fine, but workers should expect to be paid for long commutes which are work related.

    I spent 3 hours on the road 5+ days a week for 8 years and never got a cent for it, and when my vehicles crapped out the companies didn’t give a crap.
