My gf worked at a warehouse in San Antonio for a few years, and would get heatstroke symptoms near-daily. I don’t get how this will even increase productivity if everyone’s constantly recovering from hyperthermia.
Where do you get labor from if you injure all your laborers to make a point?
I wouldn’t feel safe in Texas even at an airport making a connection.
I guess they argue if giving water increases productivity, companies will do it without a law mandating it. This ignores the fact that beancounters are not always practical, and people will die of heatstroke before eventually the least reasonable companies disappear.
