"At the Affy Tapple food processing plant in Niles, Ill., workers describe sweltering indoor temperatures and cooling systems so insufficient that, during the summer, it’s often hotter inside than out. ...
Health insurance and pay are inadequate, they tell me, and they are concerned about preventable workplace injuries, including severe burns. ​“The focus is on the product,” one worker told me. ​“If the workers melt or the workers freeze, nobody gives a damn. The apples have to come out perfect.”...

There is overwhelming evidence that rising temperatures increase heat-related illnesses among workers, especially those in fields like construction and agriculture. But rising temperatures also affect indoor workers, particularly those who face ​“confounding factors,” such as ​“heat from machinery and surroundings” and ​“wearing of personal protective equipment,” according to a 2025 report from the World Meteorological Organization and the World Health Organization. In 2023, heat contributed to about 28,000 workplace injuries in the United States, according to one estimate."

As wildfires, heat waves and hurricanes intensify, workers are increasingly fighting for basic protections on top of everything else.
