My gf worked at a warehouse in San Antonio for a few years, and would get heatstroke symptoms near-daily. I don’t get how this will even increase productivity if everyone’s constantly recovering from hyperthermia.
Even ignoring the obvious cruelty of this bill, it doesn’t make sense pragmatically. Where do you get labor from if you injure all your laborers to make a point?
I wouldn’t feel safe in Texas even at an airport making a connection.
I guess they argue if giving water increases productivity, companies will do it without a law mandating it. This ignores the fact that beancounters are not always practical, and people will die of heatstroke before eventually the least reasonable companies disappear.

The idea is more to ensure that the labor class is to tired and sick to fight for their rights.
Yeah, you’re probably right. And try and kill unions while they’re at it.
