Heat illness worker protections
 

Thank you for all of your leadership protecting our workers. I'm writing to ask your support for another set of protections. We desperately need a strong set of standards and regulations to protect farmworkers, landscapers, contractors, and other at-risk workers from heat illness. The regulation should outline standards for access to water, breaks, training and air-conditioning in employer provided housing.
