Florida workers died in the heat. Their deaths were kept from authorities

It felt like 100 degrees on the job site by late afternoon.

“Truly unbearable,” was how Jonathan Baudilio Ramirez Salazar described Florida’s weather when he spoke to his wife on the phone the night before.

He’d worked one day in the thick July heat as a temporary laborer on a Fort Myers landscaping crew for TruScapes Industries Inc.

“Don’t go to work tomorrow,” his wife told him.

From further down in the article:

"Florida banned local governments from providing increased oversight for workers exposed to high temperatures earlier this year, saying businesses and federal regulators alone could keep laborers safe."

Yeah, right...
