Phoenix passes landmark rule requiring heat protection for outdoor workers | Phoenix | The Guardian theguardian.com/us-news/2024/m…

The resolution asking the state for better wages for home health aides was buried in a legislative report, because it does’t make a real difference in the lives of home health aides and the people they care for. End 24-hour shifts! Pass Int. 0615-2024 now! Ain't I A Woman!?

Florida Ron DeSantis must #veto HB433 - legislation that would prohibit cities and counties from protecting workers laboring in the extreme FL heat. He could sign the bill as early as tomorrow. Send an email TODAY demanding that he #ProtectWorkers! act.citizen.org/page/65847/act…

Calling all Florida organizations — ACTION NEEDED TODAY! Please sign on to letter demanding Ron DeSantis veto a bill that would prevent cities and counties from enacting worker protections from extreme heat. #ProtectFloridaWorkers forms.gle/azb5ac71aTb5eQ…

As temperatures rise, workers need water breaks, they need appropriate break areas, and they need to know that they won’t face retaliation if they need to take a break. These are common sense protections that we can all get behind, workers and employers alike.

The hottest states in the country, like Florida, are requesting more agricultural workers #HeatStress #ProtectWorkers wlrn.org/environment/20…

Over 20% of workers in Florida are working in 90º+ heat. And as the state bars cities and counties from instituting heat protections for outdoor workers, they’re requesting even more temporary migrant farm workers. Exploitation is the point. wlrn.org/environment/20…

Reminder: there is no dinner without farmworkers. This was the hottest summer on record, but farmworkers continue to risk their health and safety everyday without labor protections. We have to do better.
