Episode Details

Florida’s rising heat wave meets a political showdown as GOP Congressman Byron Donalds, a frontrunner for governor, co-sponsors a bill to block federal heat safety rules for workers—despite OSHA’s proposal aiming to prevent thousands of heat-related deaths and injuries. The bill, HR 6213, would stop OSHA from mandating water, shade, and rest breaks when temps hit 80°F, while Florida’s own state law already bans local heat protections. Critics warn this move ignores the universal danger of extreme heat and leaves vulnerable workers, especially in agriculture and construction, dangerously unprotected.
