Imagine it's a 100-degree day, and you're standing over a hot stove. You haven't sat down or had a drink of water in hours. Customers and managers are yelling at you. And the temperature keeps climbing. That's just a taste of what it's like being a fast-food worker in the summer.

On tarmacs hot enough to melt rubber and inside fast-food kitchens that feel like ovens, workers are collapsing, fainting, and being sent to the ER. Every shift without heat protection is a gamble with our lives. And still, corporations are doing nothing.

Sign the petition today to demand corporations act before another worker dies on the job. [[link removed]]

Last year, we demanded the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) protect workers from extreme heat. And we are still waiting for OSHA to take action. In the meantime, working people are paying the price in heatstroke, worsening chronic health problems such as kidney disease -- even death. Earlier this year, a Dallas letter carrier died after collapsing in 90-degree heat. This has to stop.

We're done waiting. [[link removed]] This week, workers in five cities are going on strike and rallying to blow the whistle on corporate inaction. Airport service workers, Amazon delivery drivers, farmworkers, security staff, and fast-food workers are telling corporations: DO THE RIGHT THING.

The truth? Companies have the money and the power to keep their workers safe right now. Want proof? When is the last time you heard about a CEO having heat stroke in their corner office? Every day they delay is a choice -- a choice that risks lives.

Take action in solidarity with striking workers across the country. We need heat protections now! [[link removed]] No more excuses. No more delays.

In solidarity,
