Florida Republicans Trying To Outlaw Protections for Outdoor Workers

The Florida Legislature — which is dominated by Republicans — is about to advance legislation that would prohibit any city or county in the state from setting even minimal standards to protect outdoor workers from the increasing risks of extreme heat.

In other words, Republican politicians in Florida are so bent on serving their corporate masters and scoring “culture war” points that they are literally trying to outlaw commonsense protections for outdoor workers and willing to let people die.

It may be a long shot, but we have to try to pressure Florida Governor (and failed presidential candidate) Ron DeSantis into NOT signing these bills into law if and when they get to his desk.

To Florida Governor Ron DeSantis

Show the American people that you are not so craven and callous as to let workers in your own state suffer and die just so Republicans can score cheap “culture war” points. Do not sign into law any legislation that makes it illegal for cities and counties in The Sunshine State to enact basic protection for outdoor workers.
