The Northwest just experienced a record-breaking heatwave, causing dangerous working conditions for people trying to do their jobs. Lifeguards in Portland got sick from the heat, airline crews in Seattle needed rest breaks in “cool down” vans and Amazon workers in a Washington warehouse said temperatures reached 90 degrees indoors. Restaurant employees in at least three states also walked off the job over sweltering conditions. This is only going to get more risky over time. Here’s what you need to know about your rights as a worker when it gets too hot.
