Not just heat but smoke, too. Half the summer has been spent under fair to heavy smoke cover where I'm at.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

Warehouse work too, last week was brutal. No AC just fans blowing hot and humid air around.
And smells
God, I hope so. Something has to give.
Heat is one of the reasons I decided not to stay in the conservation industry. It could be 45°C out and my boss would still have me suit up and march out to spray weeds. I would come home drenched head to toe in sweat and it's only going to get worse. Outdoor labour jobs need regulations to protect them from unsafe working conditions caused by the environment.
I keep wondering when I am going to see in the US what I saw in some very hot climates in the world. Construction going on at night.
