#OregonOSHA finalizará las nuevas reglas en septiembre. ¿El problema? El calor excesivo y los incendios forestales ya están dañando a los trabajadores ahora. Instar a @OregonGovBrown a proteger a las trabajadoras de Oregón ahora. https://t.co/jzfv2Rbo4E @PCUNoregon (en Inglés)

#OregonOSHA will finalize new rules in Sept. to protect workers from climate-fueled excessive heat and wildfire smoke. But, extreme heat and wildfires are already harming workers. Urge @OregonGovBrown to act to protect Oregon workers now. https://t.co/jzfv2Rbo4E @PCUNoregon

[NFWC @NWForest]

Farmworkers labor in extreme heat, wildfire smoke and in other harsh conditions to put food on our tables. The least we can do is protect their health and keep them safe while doing so. More from @PCUNoregon https://t.co/jzfv2Rbo4E #OregonOSHA #orpol @OregonDCBS

Heat is the leading weather-related killer in the US, yet there are no federal heat protections for workers. Black and Brown workers experience the highest rates of heat illness. It’s time for @OSHA_DOL to pass a heat stress standard to #ProtectAllWorkers including BIPOC workers.

An angry mob attacked our Capitol, our lawmakers, and our election.

They killed a policeman.

And Republican leaders would rather we all not know more about what happened.

[Elizabeth Warren @ewarren]

The filibuster has got to go.

[Senator Alex Padilla @SenAlexPadilla]

Between extreme heat from wildfires and the COVID pandemic, workers in CA and across the U.S. have risked their health & safety to keep our country running.

I'm teaming up with @SenSherrodBrown to protect these workers from heat stress on the job.

[Sherrod Brown @SenSherrodBrown]

As global temperatures rise, workers from Ohio to California are increasingly exposed to dangerous heat.

On #NationalHeatAwarenessDay, I'm proud to sponsor legislation with @SenAlexPadilla to protect workers from heat stress on the job.

Every worker deserves a safe workplace.

#Forestworkers & #Farmworkers have high rates of #HeatStress illness and death. Ask Congress to support the Asunción Valdivia Heat Illness and Fatality Prevention Act (H.R.3668/S.4781) to fight #StructuralRacism and #ProtectAllWorkers from #HeatStress. https://t.co/u18uWOWQgb

Los #Trabajadoresforestales tienen un alto riesgo de contraer COVID-19 al igual que los #trabajadoresagricolas y essentiales. Se necesita con urgencia una orientación específica para nuestras comunidades durante #COVID19! #OSHAhazTuTrabajo @OSHA_DOL @USDOL @SecGeneScalia

#ForestWorkers are at high risk of contracting COVID-19 as are #farmworkers and all #EssentialWorkers. Specific guidance for #EssentialWorkers is urgently needed for our communities during #COVID19! #OSHAdoYourJob @OSHA_DOL @USDOL @SecGeneScalia

2.2 millones de Trabajadoras del Hogar son excluidas de las protecciones de la salud y seguridad en los EEUU, aun durante COVID-19, por causa de leyes de labor injustas. @GavinNewsom pass #SB1257 #MiSaludEsTuSalud #WorkersMemorialWeek #wmd2020

2.2 million Domestic Workers are excluded from health and safety protections in the United States, even during COVID-19 because of unjust labor laws. @GavinNewsom pass #SB1257 #MyHealthIsYourHealth #WorkersMemorialWeek #wmd2020

[NFWC @NWForest]

5,250 workers were fatally injured on the job in 2018. Due to #COVID19 these numbers are bound to rise. This week we remember workers who have died due to preventable workplace hazards and call on @GavinNewsom to prioritize and protect workers #MyHealthIsYourHealth #WMD2020

Nearly 1.7 million immigrants are health care workers and millions more are essential workers, risking their lives everyday to save others.

The Coronavirus Immigrant Protection Act would ensure that they are treated equally during the coronavirus pandemic. #NationofImmigrants.

[OxfamAmerica @OxfamAmerica]

In the 106-year history of the Department of Labor, never before has there been a Labor Secretary nominee more focused on undermining worker protections and rolling back labor standards on behalf of employers. Tell Congress to #RejectScalia NOW: https://t.co/298KoNGj3c

[NFWC @NWForest]

The proposed regulations would also move reforestation and pine straw workers from the H-2B to the H-2A program. This could significantly reduce pay and worsen working conditions for these workers.

[UFW Foundation @ufwfoundation]

Trumps admin proposed #H2A changes that may reduce wages for current #farmwokers + make #H2A workers vulnerable to ABUSE
Changes like letting employers self-inspect housing & claim DEPLORABLE conditions adequate. Help us stop these changes: https://t.co/XoScheFjZ5 @AmericasVoice

[NFWC @NWForest]

Forest workers are at high risk of heat exhaustion but most are not trained in how to prevent it nor how to recognize its symptoms. This #LaborDay2019, @OSHA_DOL must issue a heat standard to help workers #BeatTheHeat #Calor! https://t.co/Oj0PQ0RU1v
