Call your US Rep today: Tell them to oppose Republican bill that would ban national heat regs.
We have an urgent request: Call your US Representative TODAY and ask them to stand strong against HR 6213. This terrible bill would prohibit OSHA from creating or enforcing any national heat safety regulations -- now or in the future. It only takes 2 minutes. It’s imperative your representative hears their constituents are against this bill. Fill in your information below to find your Representative’s phone number. Summer heat is getting more and more extreme all over the US. This bill puts the farm workers who spend their days working under the searing sun more and more at risk. We and our partners have been advocating for federal heat safety regulations for decades. In 2024, OSHA finally proposed the nation's first heat safety standard. The Trump administration has stalled implementing it and now they're trying to kill it entirely. Temperatures are soaring from coast to coast and the health and very lives of farm workers are on the line. Please make your phone call today.
As your constituent I ask you to oppose HR 6213. This deadly legislation would prohibit OSHA from creating or enforcing any national heat safety law. It would endanger the lives of farm workers and other workers. Temperatures across the nation have progressively been getting hotter and hotter. This makes workers more vulnerable to heat-related illness and even death. Two years ago, after decades of advocacy, OSHA finally proposed a national heat safety standard. It was bad enough that it was stalled. But attempting to ban these protections permanently is beyond words. Please oppose HR 6213. |
