@coriander is that not already legally required?? that should be legally required imo

@Lady I agree!

@coriander checked CA law because that is where my employer is located and apparently there it is required UNLESS you make at least twice the minimum wage

which is better than nothing i guess but it should be required always in my opinion

@Lady Yeah, like, where I work we don't have to have our own welding machines or anything like that, that would be fuckin ridiculous, but everyone has their own angle grinder and wheels, their own wrenches etc and it's like

These should also be supplied or paid for
