This is why a number of Republican-controlled states have banned municipal governments from imposing workplace rules to limit heat exposure.
Marc Freedman, a vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the country’s largest business lobbying group, wrote that such a rule would present huge challenges for employers and that “it is extraordinarily difficult for them to determine when heat presents a hazard because each employee experiences heat differently.” Mr. Freeman said the unpredictable nature of heat creates “a substantial barrier to efforts to determine when employees require protection.”
Won’t someone PLEASE consider the business owners?!
You’re thinking of conservatives. The cruelty isn’t the point with the chamber of commerce. Profits are the point. Anything that benefits the worker reduces profits for the capitalist.
I think you’re wrong. If they actually cared about profits, it would be easy to understand that a healthy workforce is better. But these people just enjoy inflicting misery.
