On certain farms across 22 states, workers will now have mandatory access to electrolytes, which can help them stay safe in dangerous extreme heat. It’s the latest rule from @fairfoodprogram.bsky.social, a partnership between growers, farmworkers, and food retailers to improve working conditions.

Farmworkers have more than 35x the risk of heat-related death than workers in any other industry, but there are no federal heat protection standards. The @fairfoodprogram.bsky.social has its own—& just added a rule requiring access to electrolytes for farmworkers www.fastcompany.com/91584914/far...

Now is the time to bring these protections to millions more workers. One-time donations make a difference. Monthly giving builds movements. Become a Fair Food Sustainer today! fairfoodprogram.org/donate/
