    It’s just 9 human beings and 4 other human beings dying in the heat, what’s to worry about?

      They died from the laws that are still in effect until Abbot’s bill takes over in September. Why see you blaming that bill when it has nothing to do with these deaths?

        I didn’t blame the bill, I only pointed out how callous you were being by saying that these deaths are nothing to worry about. This bill is not the cause of those deaths, however the bill (in my opinion) won’t do anything other than cause more suffering. When someone makes a complaint instead of it going to a local authority who would have the resources and bodies to investigate the company, that conversation will become “oh sorry nothing we can do, talk to OSHA and then wait for 3 months for a response where they tell you they may look into it!” What benefit comes out of restricting local jurisdiction’s ability to pass laws requiring extra water breaks? What gets my goat is that the only benefit I could reasonably see is increased corporate profits at the cost of human well-being.
