Disgusting. Ron DeSantis needs to be put in jail at a work camp in Florida.
Heat strokes will continue until moral improves!
Did they not learn when they tried cracking down on undocumented workers and there was nobody there to pick up the jobs so their food literally rotted in the field??
Lernin’s fer libterds
We’re not libterds anymore. We’re woke, trans, groomers who are simultaneously too weak to be real men and also running the shadow gubment and recently FBI too.
Public records obtained by the Orlando Weekly showed that Associated Builders and Contractors lobbyist Carol Bowen sent a text message to the chief of staff of House Speaker Paul Renner, saying, “I haven’t texted you in weeks — HEAT cannot die.” Another lobbyist from Associated Industries of Florida texted asking “Are you all looking to put the wage stuff back on?” referring to the living wage preemption component, which at one point was cut from the bill.
The Florida Chamber of Commerce would go on to further pressure lawmakers by threatening to double-weight the vote on HB 433 in their legislative report card, meaning they would be doubly penalized for voting against the bill. This report card can later be weaponized against lawmakers in political ads and is used by the chamber to determine who to donate to and against, with the chamber giving $1.44 million to campaign accounts from October 2023 to March 2024 and Associated Industries of Florida giving about $1.8 million in the same time frame.
These are the same lobbying interests that in the same legislative session supported a rollback of child labor protections to allow minors to work more than eight hours a day and more than 30 hours a week during the school year. They also lobbied for a state-level preemption of rent stabilization measures that were approved by voters in Orange County.
HB 433 was ultimately passed on March 8, around the time that Miami-Dade County would have taken up its deferred ordinance to establish local heat stress protections. Reached for comment, the Farmworker Association of Florida noted that the “same lawmakers and governor who unanimously supported common sense heat protections for student-athletes” did not extend the same protections to the “hard-working communities that produce the food that sustains us, and that build and maintain the critical infrastructure that we rely on.”

Thank you for collecting these. Those lawmakers and lobbyists are fucking disgusting and more people need to learn just how disgusting they are.
Thanks, but I just copied and pasted fta.
This is proof that DEMOCRATS are the Swamp!
Hard to feel sorry for the folks that voted for this. Maybe workers should quit and move to a better state where they treat workers decently.
Too bad this effects people who didn’t vote for it, and/or couldn’t vote, just the same.
And also can’t afford to just move
That’s called Freedom!
Of course this will be ignored. Just like like Covid vacations BS laws were ignored.
I don’t b believe they passed any laws about that
They did reverse local mandated rules for vaccinations, that they originally put to the locals to draw up.
