I have one printed up at work and am keeping a record to show the boss after this year is over. 12 days we were over 100° heat index in the factory last year. This Thursday it’s supposed to be 111° if the forecasted humidity and heat hold…
It’s America. The company could probably run the factory at 17472718°C if they wanted to, sadly.
I looked up my states law last year and they purposely wrote the most vague shit possible “factories must maintain reasonable temperature and humidity levels.” with absolutely no definition as to what reasonable means. When I reached out to the corporations my “representatives” for clarification naturally I got no response.
I guess I should try attorney, but I don’t really want to sue the company or anything I just want them to do something.

Once there is a health risk, it is no longer reasonable, i think it is actually pretty straightforward, it is just unlucky that it probably means lawsuit to put that logic into action.

Sounds like you should be showing an attorney or labor rep instead of your boss

In America, the latter follows from the former. There’s no other way.
