DeSantis bans heat protections for outdoor workers

They banned cities/counties/etc from mandating them. It is a subtle but important difference.

@joed

Jobsites are still free to implement them on their own.
Of course, they probably won’t, especially if a good chunk of their workforce is undocumented, and thus unlikely to protest or quit.

This is the state government in collusion with corporations to stop local governments from actively protecting their citizens. I guess that’s maybe what you’re getting at, but this is still something to be rather pissed off about, as at the heart of it, it’s about abusing workers.

@campodf

It sounds like a state governor wresting control from local cities and counties in a trojan horse power grab.

Yes, this has been happening in red states for years, especially as blue cities are seeking to protect their citizens.
