Our postal workers are risking their lives in extreme heat without A/C or water. I've joined 76 colleagues in urging USPS Postmaster General DeJoy to implement OSHA’s new federal heat rule immediately. We can’t wait. DeJoy must act now to protect our postal workers.

I’m calling on @USPS Postmaster General DeJoy to immediately implement @USDOL's new heat rule for his workers.

Letter carriers are dying on the job in the heat — often without A/C or water.

Proud to lead a letter with @RepRaskin, @RepJudyChu, & 70+ Members urging DeJoy to act.
