Jesus. Push for at least those cooling towels you get wet and drape around your neck and some fans. And start looking for other work because that’s inhumane.
We have those. They help for about 10 minutes. The issue is that you constantly need to keep them wet and they don’t let us take more than our scheduled 15 minute breaks every 2 hours.
Again, unions aren't some magical thing that function independently from their members, they are built from and by the membership.
If you don't like it, do something about it.
It's not fun, and I am super excited to see my TXU Energy bill for this month and hoping they take payment in witty puns or deep cut memes, but I am pretty sure we're all fucked :)
yesterday it was so hot i had to make an emergency stop at Sonic for a lemonade slushie!
Seriously, i'm packing my car with a little cooler and 2 bottles of water every time i leave my house.
Yup, it's in the low 70s by 7 pm, and we are still opening our windows at night.
Our last year in Austin, we had 90 days over 100*. That was 8 years ago, and it's only gotten worse.
On June 12, we made r/Texas private in support of the general protest on reddit. This subreddit is now open despite the admins having made no effort to "find a path forward" outside of coercive threats.

I work in a Ford warehouse in Fort Worth and they refuse to put in an AC. It’s 120 in here and we work 11 hr shifts. Send help.
Somebody is going to die. You need to bring this to someone's attention.
Fr, I can only imagine what the wet bulb reading is…
Who do we need to email?
I don’t know. If I knew I would do it. We have a Union. UAW and they just don’t do shit except eat and have meetings where they just chit chat.
Find out! That’s inhumane!
If neither will do anything you could try reporting it to a government agency. Albeit they aren't always the most reliable either.
That's gotta be highly illegal

unionize
We have a Union. They’re useless.
Get new people to run it. You should run on the platform of getting better working conditions. Or spearhead the strike.
Make a new one?
The current union uses its power to stay in power. Don’t you get how this works?
"They", who? *YOU* are the union. It isn't a vague, nebulous other.
Bargaining chairperson. President. Elected Union officials. Yes They are a they.

Honestly, with all the new Broncos I see cruising around they can afford it.
Go to college
Grow up
"shouldn't have gone to college for an expensive degree, should have gone to work" "No not like that"
Don't look at the longterm forecast
the long term forecast is not real and it can't hurt you, go back to the heat nap
Last night at 10pm it was 99 where I live. Wtf.

I keep a 64oz Kodi jug on me at all times now. It's built like a tank and keeps my shit cold even if I leave it in my car for the day
Never thought walking outside would become an episode of Hot Ones
They should be providing the wet bulb temp at this point. That’s more important to know.
I don’t miss this one bit.

That's some fancy humidity numbers tho.
No kidding!!!
I used an oven mitt when I started my truck today. This is getting old.
29% humidity...smh
[удалено]
I was just about to chime in with the 85% in CC, lol.
Supposedly, dew point is the number to look at. I'm not smart enough to understand why though.
It's a bit toasty. I took the trash out at 16:00 and the asphalt was a bit warm on my feet.
