It’s also illegal to have a water break for workers working outside in the heat.

It's simultaneously more and less evil than that. The ruling was that the state cannot compell employers to provide water breaks for employees working in the heat. So those people who can't take a water break while working 13 hrs a day in direct sun are forced to do so by their employers greed, and not because of some legal obligation.

It's less evil because the government didn't force the companies to give water breaks?

The ruling is less evil because it didn't block companies from providing water breaks.
