Today, the federal government put itself on the right side of history by seeking, for the 1st time, to establish the precedent that every worker in America has the right to shade, water & rest while working in temps that could kill them. -UFW President Teresa Romero

I work outdoors, and had sun poisoning two weeks ago because I had to work 8 hr without a break when the city had a UV warning.
I hydrated (as much as possible with bathroom breaks and wore sunscreen).
Even when i collapsed the following day, I was first told to work thru a 100° fever in 98° heat.
That’s horrible! I’m so sorry. The worst heat stress I’ve ever seen was driving by a pair of pipe fitters working in 100+ degs. in an oil field. I still wonder about those guys… (I asked to stop, but was told it was unsafe. I wasn’t the boss).
