    I work in an open air factory on Long island. It’s gets over 90°F inside and whatever humidity it is outside is what we have here.

    I’ve looked into the laws for factories in NY and the legislation is purposely vague… “all factories are to maintain proper humidity and temperature.” They then never define what proper temp and humidity is… My representatives don’t respond when asked about it.

    I’m so happy it’s nice this week so far, last week was brutal…

      Holy shit that’s really warm for working inside a factory all day. Thank you for sharing your insight especially since a lot of the news coverage is in places setting temperature records and not places where the heat index is through the roof. I suppose it’s f*kn hot all over this summer.
