Many farm workers don’t say anything when they feel bad because they are afraid they will be fired, or because they earn so little that they feel they have to take risks to get a paycheck.

Farm workers are out harvesting plums in Kingsburg CA. They spend their day going up and down the ladders in a searing sun. They share the high this day was 107°. #WeFeedYou #HeatJustice

The Trump administration doesn't want you to know this but hearings on OSHA's proposed heat rule are being held through 7/2. Watch here: www.osha.gov/heat-exposure/rulemaking

#HeatStress is a matter of life and death, folks. Our bodies have limits. We demand #HeatJustice for workers.

Juan drives a tractor under a UFW contract @ScheidVineyards in Bradley CA. It was 103° when his shift ended at 2pm. He's pleased to work under a union contract at a company that make sure his tractor has good AC & provides cool water in his tractor. #WeFeedYou #HeatJustice

Farm worker Lourdes Cardenas shares: Here in Fresno it's reaching 105°-110° temps this summer. The heat has been unbearable. Every yr the heat gets stronger. I've experienced heat stress, been dizzy, dehydrated & wanting to vomit w/ the water being very far away. #HeatJustice 1/

Luz sent us this photo from earlier in the month where she worked packing celery in Greenfield, CA. "We average 1,100 boxes or so, but the day was very hot, at a temperature of 95°. It is very difficult to work like that." ##WeFeedYou ##HeatJustice

We were sent this photo from a worker laboring in the pistachio harvest in Lost Hills CA. It was 101°. This machine shakes the trees. The pistachios are then caught in a separate sweeper. Farm workers go behind it and pick up any remaining pistachios. #HeatJustice #WeFeedYou

Justino works in the mangoes in Coachella CA. "I cut grass before workers harvest the crop. It's very important as we need to see where we walk to avoid rattlesnakes. Yesterday at 11am temps were 112°, but in the rows w/the suit I wear, it felt like 120°." #WeFeedYou #HeatJustice

Comment period now open on proposed Federal @OSHA_DOL Heat safety regulations. These rules are critical to protect the health and lives of farm workers and other workers who have no choice but to work during dangerous temperatures. ufw.org/federalheatr... WeFeedYou

I'm happy that workers in TX, AZ, FL & other states might have the same right to water & shade. But a right cannot exist only on paper. We must continue fighting until the right to water, shade & rest is truly respected for workers.
