Tons of data shows that even if you experience no symptoms whatsoever, just being exposed to heat for prolonged periods - like job shifts - leads to things like kidney disease, heart disease, permanent disabilities, and early death. Temperatures are up & so are heat injuries, & NIOSH has been gutted

Workplace safety should NEVER be optional. As Summer quickly approaches, instances of workplace heat illness will only increase, and we need a fully staffed NIOSH to make sure workers can stay safe on the job.
Reinstate all NIOSH workers now!

A lot of white collar workers look at the workers on the floor as "suckers". Sound familiar?
