THey all can walk out, I GUARANTEE the owner will have a fresh batch of new workers by day's end. Too many people out of work, someone will work there, broken AC and all

I must ask the obvious. If this was such a big issue then why did Luisa Villa work there for 9 years with no AC? Walking out because temps were soaring into the mid 80's is funny to me. Think about AC repairmen who work in your attack. They do manual labor in 120+ degrees here in Texas. They probably pray for mid 80's. Some here on ATS have spent weeks in a charcoal lined rubber suit and gas mask walking around the desert in the ME.
I don't know....to me this sounds like it was made into a big deal by Huffington Post. I believe I'd be looking for a new crew if they walked out on me.

I'm sorry, but I must say "Boo Hoo"
I worked in a factory for 15 years and many times I was hot foil stamping, 115℉ in the shop (metal building no windows) standing in front of a 350℉ press.
Last week was a "heat wave" and I had to be outside in the sun wearing a uniform, I must of changed my t-shirt 7 times because of sweat. There was no AC while I was patrolling and no cool breeze. Do you know how hot it can get wearing a uniform and duty belt?
BOO FREAKING HOO!!

Holy crap thats right by my work. We all had lunch last week from there during the heat wave and it was damn hot inside. It was my turn to go get lunch that day and I remember being on line sweating bullets. I cant even imagine what it was like in the kitchen. I think it was the day before this happened so like 100+ degrees outside.
I will go tomorrow and ask if they were punished because of their walk out.
Nice people there BTW. Really hard working and courteous.

Agreed, why anybody would eat that stuff is beyond me.

Lucky the worker who collapsed didn't end up face first in the deep fryer.
do you have any medical training with Heat Casualties?
I think you're the one with an ego, you have not added anything to the OP, you only ranted.
stroked your ego? look in the mirror and puff up the chest?
