Is Washington Protecting Outdoor Workers?
Washington’s dealt with historic heat these past two summers. So, the state’s enacted some new protections for people who work outside in the summer, in jobs like agriculture and construction.
This work can be dangerous during extreme heat, but many workers are reluctant to report violations.
KUOW's Eilis O'Neill will tell us why.
