Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

It probably isn't allowed. However, the ruling class can break the laws without consequence, because the law is primarily a tool to enforce the will of the ruling class against the working class. In a democratic system under capitalism, the power of the state is auctioned off to the highest bidder.
Not that I'm defending anything... But very few warehouses, factories, or commercial buildings have A/C. I've been working in them for years, you just open the garage doors and maybe run some fans and it's hot as fuck and that's that.
Honestly I probably have kept my weight down sweating my balls off and wrenching in factories over the years.
It absolutely is allowed. The heat regulations set by the EPA are usually centered around healthy, white males, if you are outside that category, in any direction, good luck.
