Health Secretary Becerra touts extreme heat protections. Farmworkers want more
Briefly

"There are still not enough protections for workers that are picking the food that we eat," Becerra stated, emphasizing the urgency for enhancing safety standards amid climate threats.
"The summers are long and intense in Clarksburg, but they are still dressed as if it were winter," highlighting the inadequate measures farmworkers take to shield themselves from extreme weather.
Becerra's advocacy spotlights how marginalized workers, particularly farmworkers, are disproportionately affected by climate change, calling for urgent action to address these public health challenges.
With released safety guidelines and educational materials in March, Becerra's efforts indicate the administration's commitment to safeguarding the health of farmworkers facing extreme weather conditions.
