[Texas Tribune] “We are dying”: Houston workers protest new state law removing water break requirements
(www.texastribune.org)
A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Shitty law, but it's not even in effect yet.
In Houston today, it’s going to feel like 43°C (110°F). When I go outside in that heat even for a second or two, I‘m already too hot, need a water break, and wonder how anyone can survive working in that.
I don’t know how anyone with a conscience could feel that heat and think removing water breaks for the workers is fine.
Maybe I’m just a stupid communist though and should try losing my conscience or something…
If you use celsius as a default, I doubt you live in Houston.
Nice topic dodge. Tell me more about how other temperature systems are bad for people who are dying from heat stroke.
