Tell Congress to Protect Workers From Dangerous Heat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Extreme heat has engulfed the nation, with cities coast-to-coast breaking all-time heat records this summer. But while workers continue to face dangerous and potentially deadly working conditions, anti-worker leaders in Congress are quietly attempting to stop any heat safety protection laws from being passed, now or in the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

H.R. 6213, the misnamed Heat Workforce Standards Act, would prohibit the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) from creating or enforcing any national heat safety law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell Congress to protect workers from heat\u2014and not block heat safety protections<\/a>. Dial 844-937-2517 or fill out the form on this page to make a call.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
