Keep calling! (954) 424 - 0242

You may have seen that Biden has announced what he calls “extreme heat protections” but what we know to be simply creating a dedicated paperwork definition of heat related deaths rather than filing it as a general workplace hazard. There is no new policy, just a small difference in the paperwork.

However the only people in the world who will notice a change are those who fill out said paperwork: the OSHA employees. This ironically gives us an opportunity to put pressure on the South Florida OSHA employees to do something. So keep calling!

Say his name! EfraĂ­n LĂłpez GarcĂ­a https://kolektiva.social/@miaantifanews/110775035865688678

OSHA inaction https://kolektiva.social/@miaantifanews/110810211348091602

Call OSHA FTL and urge them to issue a significant citation against Dang Farms for working EfraĂ­n LĂłpez GarcĂ­a to death!

(954) 424-0242 (choose language then press 0 to speak with an operator, then ask to speak to/leave a message for Eastmond Condell, the SFL area director)

Hi I am calling about a case from July 13 of this year, inspection number 1682870.015, in which a worker died of heatstroke.

*wait for them to find the case*

I urge you to issue a significant citation against Dang Farms for working this young man to death. His name was EfraĂ­n LĂłpez GarcĂ­a, he was 29 years old and he deserves justice. I am concerned that workers are still in danger of heat related illness and deaths will continue without swift and decisive action from OSHA.

The extreme heat has devastated corals. As a former marine scientist, this is a truly heartbreaking read:

“The coral didn’t even have a chance to bleach, it just died. It just felt like, ‘Oh my God, we’re in the apocalypse.’ What’s happening?”

“Demand #climate action right now. Not in a year, not tomorrow, right now. Actually yesterday.”

Florida’s Record-Breaking Sea Temperatures Are Forcing Coral to Move Ashore

Teams dedicated to ocean restoration are urgently moving samples to tanks on land as a marine heat wave devastates entire reefs.

@sidereal @ariaflame @voteforgrant Unions have a role, but the goal should be statutory changes that require representation of workers up the corporate hierarchy. The point is to *change* the system. A union primarily concerned with its role in management is a very different thing than a union primarily concerned with its next strike. Calling both "unions" is practically a misnomer.
Look at what the Teamsters got for UPS workers. $21/hr for part time. The end of mandatory OT on days off. A/C in their trucks. Unions WORK. Don't let anyone tell you differently.

Giving fascists “the benefit of the doubt” is how you end up living under fascism.

(Notice I said “living”. Funny how those who would be dead under it are never the ones doing this.)

Everyone: Let's use this worldwide communication network to download all the movies and TV show we could ever want.
Hollywood Execs: But that would be piracy!
Everyone: So what?
Hollywood: If you pirate these movies, the people that make them won't get paid for doing so.
Everyone: So if we get the movies through you, they will get paid?
Hollywood:
Hollywood: I never said that.

The Teamsters’ Proposed Agreement With UPS Is a Great Victory by and for the Workers

But the working class needs much more. And these moments when workers have huge strategic power in a tight labor market are fleeting.
