Commentary by Attorney Michael Grossman
Every summer in Texas, workers end up losing their lives in the heat, often due to issues with employers not creating a safe environment for their workers and pushing them too hard, too long, or without proper supplies. I have to wonder if that’s what happened here. If so, hopefully steps have already been taken to see there will be accountability as well as improvements to protect workers in the future.
