Oregon adopts most protective heat rules for workers in US
Oregon has adopted an emergency rule that strengthens requirements for employers to protect workers from extreme heat in what advocates call the nation’s most protective heat rules

"Oregon adopted an emergency rule Thursday that strengthens requirements for employers to safeguard workers from extreme heat, including expanding access to shade and cool water in what advocates called the nation's most protective heat rules following deadly record-high temperatures in the Pacific Northwest. “With these new rules, Oregon has a chance to lead the country in ensuring workplaces are safe from high heat, especially for those doing the most demanding and dangerous jobs like farming and construction,” said Kate Suisman, an attorney with the Northwest Workers’ Justice Project.
Under Oregon's new rules for workers, when the heat index is at or above 80 F (27 C), employers are required to provide access to sufficient shade and an adequate supply of drinking water. More than 100 people in Oregon died during the extreme heat wave in late June; among them was an immigrant from Guatemala who was working outside, the state medical examiner said."
So now the government wants to force employers to provide these illegals with water, shade and breaks just because of a little heat? What is the benefit to having these wetbacks work in the fields if it's not their ability to withstand extremely hot conditions with little to no effects?? Now because a couple of them died; Oregon wants to act like OSHA? It is bad enough that these employers are forced to hire these illegals in the first place...if they were allowed by the government to hire real working class Americans; there wouldn't be a need for all of this soyboy cuck workplace safety crap...
