    I’m a construction worker. I’m also an adult. If I’m working in the heat, I take a water break whenever I feel like I need one. If I need to go sit in my truck with the ac on, that’s what i do. If anyone has a problem with it, they can fuck right off and find someone else.

    All it would take is everyone adopting this same attitude for things to change. Water and rest breaks are taken, not given. It’s your body, not your boss’s. Take care of yourself. Solidarity saves lives.

      Too many people can’t take the risk of losing their jobs. It’s pretty shitty.

        That means if you CAN take this attitude, doing so could help others do the same, potentially saving lives.

        There would be no risk if everyone did the same thing. You’re only replaceable if there’s someone willing to replace you.

            Yes. But even unorganized labor can stand up for themselves.

              I remember an hour long meeting where the group of 30 or so people were unable to agree on a definition for integrity.

      This. Too many people complain about working conditions without doing anything about it just waiting for someone else to fix the issue.
