Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) has signed legislation barring local and municipal governments from requiring their own heat protections for workers. The law, House Bill 433, blocks local governments…
US DoD as a whole really, not just US army. There’s a whole color code “flag” system following wet bulb temperatures. Might just be if it’s on military installations though, not sure about places that are functionally just office buildings.
Okay, sweet. Then that’s identical to the system I’ve been told about for Canadian Forces and similar to what I’ve seen with other militaries. Crazy how that works. Especially seeing American states that are so pro military and anti-labour fail to meet the basic criteria even the DoD follows.
Maybe NATO related? Then again, the US military is fairly invested in keeping their troops functional. Cant dissuade too many people from joining up, it’s the biggest socialist program the country has to offer…
It very well could be NATO doctrine. Militaries figured out real quick that you have to keep troops alive long enough to fight. Whereas it seems civilian workers are treated worse.
Funny how the military, being an innately fascist system (meritocracy) also happens to be the most socialist system many countries have. Room and board, fair wages, a viable path to promotion, medical care all in return for your work and possibly your life.
The military radicalized me to democratic socialism.
