    Maybe the CDC should also use this determination to push federal worker rights laws allowing for water breaks in weather hotter than 80 degrees.

      OSHA is the agency with the power to do that via regulation not the CDC. Laws happen because of Congress, not the agencies, though testimony before congress from the CDC might sway some of the Democrats in favor.

        I’m aware. The CDC is still capable of of giving that recommendation to OSHA and/or publicly push for the law, however. I’m just expecting them to turn around and help the doctors in the mutual goal of preventing heat injuries.
