This is just gonna lead to violence. Some petty tyrant boss is going to be killed and left at the work site over this shit. No one is going to tell who did it because the dead asshole took away the basics of life from them.

The bill’s passage comes after the state’s most populous county, Miami-Dade, considered local heat protection rules that would have been among the most stringent in the country. That proposal would have required employers to provide shade, water and 10-minute breaks to workers every two hours on days over a certain heat threshold.

The fact that that would have been among the most stringent protections in the country is incredibly sad. Those protections should be in place nationwide by default at a minimum. Nobody benefits from overheated workers, who are human beings by the way. I feel like it’s so much easier to just be decent and take care of peoples’ basic needs.

You’re a monster if you don’t think your workers deserve to have a few minutes in the shade whenever the fuck they want. People will work harder if they feel like they’re safe and respected. Everybody wins.

He’s just letting the free market decide. I mean, everyone knows that no company would buy a building where a worker died constructing it. And no workers would decide to work for a company without heat protections, right?
