California Gov. Gavin Newsom recently vetoed a bill intended to protect farmworkers when employers violate state outdoor heat-safety law, Robert J. Lopez reported with support from the Fund. The report was published in Capital & Main. It followed an investigation by Lopez, also supported by the Fund, that detailed how California sharply cut back on enforcement of outdoor heat-protection laws as extreme temperatures have intensified in frequency and duration. State lawmakers have vowed to introduce bills to protect famworkers when the Legislature convenes next year. The reporting by Lopez is part of a larger ongoing investigation of California’s agricultural industry supported by the Fund.
