minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up87·7 months agoFuck Florida. Btw, they can’t contradict federal rules and worker rights here are the osha requirements for heat. Join a union. Don’t take this up the ass.
minus-squareunalivejoy@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2arrow-down9·7 months agoFlorida is a right to work state, which means the state has the right to work you to death.
minus-squareFuglyDuck@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up12·edit-27 months agoWrong. Very wrong. They want you to think that so you don’t report them. They are obligated to provide a safe working environment- under federal law. That’s true for every single state and US territory. All “right to work” really means is that you get to quit at any time and they get to fire you at any time. The exception to that is in retaliation for complaining or reporting safety hazards (they also can’t fire you for being a protected class etc.)
minus-squareSoleInvictus@lemmy.blahaj.zonelinkfedilinkarrow-up3·edit-27 months agoAt least in the United States, right to work laws specify that employees can’t be required to contribute financially to union representation as a condition of employment if they opt to not join a union in a unionized workplace. They have nothing to do with at-will employment.
