Salt of the Earth Labor College Presents: CONFRONTING EXTREME HEAT EXPLOITATION

Salt of the Earth Labor College presents:

Or by Zoom

As the climate crisis deepens, hotter and hotter temperatures arrive earlier and stick around longer than ever before, jeopardizing the health and safety of workers–from the warehouse to the fields, from the construction sites to the classrooms, from delivery trucks to commercial kitchens. Extreme heat exposes workers and other vulnerable people to long-term health impacts and death. In the last 10 years over 4000 people have died in Arizona due to heat exposure. Arizona has not yet adopted enforceable Heat Protection Standards guaranteeing water, shade and rest, heat illness prevention training, and employer accountability. Here and around the world the labor movement, in coalition with community organizations, is leading the struggle to demand action and adoption of strong, enforceable heat protection standards necessary to save lives in the workplace and in our communities. Join us for a community discussion with workers impacted by extreme heat and community activists in the struggle to win strong, enforceable Heat Protection Standards.
