Honoring the Board’s pledge to adopt strong heat standards
 

Your leadership in creating emergency COVID-19 standards helped protect Virginia’s workers.  Now our farm workers are particularly vulnerable and are relying on you to create standards (training, water breaks, air-conditioning in any provided housing) ample enough to protect them from illness due to excess heat. We owe these workers these protections. Thank you.
