I'm a construction worker. I'm also an adult. If I'm working in the heat, I take a water break whenever I feel like I need one. If I need to go sit in my truck with the ac on, that's what i do. If anyone has a problem with it, they can fuck right off and find someone else.

All it would take is everyone adopting this same attitude for things to change. Water and rest breaks are taken, not given. It's your body, not your boss's. Take care of yourself. Solidarity saves lives.

    Too many people can't take the risk of losing their jobs. It's pretty shitty.

    There would be no risk if everyone did the same thing. You're only replaceable if there's someone willing to replace you.

    Relatedly, this is why organizing and striking are important.
