NEW: The Labor Department is creating the first-ever federal safety standard for extreme heat in the workplace.
Farmworkers told us they’re laboring under deadly heat with no shade, few breaks, and little water.
They need strong, enforced heat protections to save their lives.

A lot of Democrats are hurting tonight. Moral victory and political victory are not the same.
Political victory is possible. But we wanted to see a repudiation of this direction for the country, and that has not yet come. That hurts.
Still - we need to #CountEveryVote.
Just another reason why I miss @BarackObama From his speech in #Pennsylvania “...this president wants full credit for the economy he inherited and zero blame for the pandemic that he ignored. The job doesn't work that way. Making stuff up doesn't make people's lives better.”
@Jorge_Alguera ☝🏽 Great point. If you look the dynamics within sports like the @NFL it’s clear to see why the current push for systematic change is overdue. They claim to be against racism but can’t apologize to @Kaepernick7 and be transparent about what they intentionally did to his career.
From now on, if I need a package delivered overnight, I'll be using the USPS instead of FedEx.
We NEED the USPS to deliver our absentee ballots.
We DON'T NEED FedEx to fire Black guys for standing up to racist jerks. #BoycottFedEx
It's not too late for everyone to come to their goddamned senses and support Bernie Sanders for President.
A true mensch who has spent his entire life fighting for the precise policies that would be saving lives right now on a truly staggering scale.
Not too late.
I join @DrMaryTBassett@BrooklynDA in urging @NYGovCuomo to stop a #Coronavirus disaster and address public safety and public health by releasing residents of prisons and jails. Here's why. https://t.co/uBeD48ikLk
Keep your tacos, keep your bowls, send us home if we have colds! 🌮🌯❌🤧 Listen up, @ChipotleTweets! Workers need to be able to stay home when they are sick without fear of retaliation or being fired! #DoBetterChipotle
“No more collaborating with ICE or with oil and gas. No more abusing warehouse employees with inhumane quotas,” - Hilda Marshall, Data Linguist at Amazon 👏👏
This... as we move into 2020. This systemic problem within law enforcement shows the lack of consequences for police officers, even when off duty. #QualifiedImmunity
Unions like @Teamsters know what's at stake.
As president, I will double union membership nationwide, end "right-to-work" laws by repealing section 14(b) of the Taft-Hartley Act, and impose a moratorium on multi-employer pension cuts.
I will be your Organizer-In-Chief.
