John Boozman in 2022 AR Senate race

On Jobs: Pushed 16-hour trucker day; withdrew "sweatshop on wheels"

Boozman made a misstep in 2005 by sponsoring and then withdrawing a bill to increase the maximum workday for truckers to 16 hours--A move sought by Wal-Mart but that was lambasted as a "sweat shop on wheels" that would have jeopardized safety. He also backed the controversial 2008 bill to rescue the U.S. financial system--an issue that tea party supporters used against some Republican incumbents in GOP primaries.
