Workers march against new law banning heat protection mandates in Florida

Dozens of workers held a march in Homestead, Florida as part of 'Que Calor!' ('It's so hot!') campaign against a new state law which places restrictions on wage and employment benefit requirements and prohibits cities and counties from adopting its own requirements for water breaks and protections against the heat.

Heat exposure is one of the most prominent reasons threatening workers' lives in Florida. According to local reports an estimated 436 work-related deaths due to environmental heat exposure were reported by US Bureau of Labor Statistics between 2011 and 2022.
