I’m going to wear my politics on my sleeve here and point out that this is a prime example of Republican “local political decisions should be made at the local political level not the overreaching federal government, but also let’s not adopt local political standards and only adopt federal minimum requirements” hypocrisy.
The “argument” such as it is, is that if Florida is allowed to adopt local community laws regarding breaks, then employers will be confused and unsure what their explicit local laws are, and having a hodgepodge of separate labor laws by town will be anti-business, so they should just adhere to whatever the federal guidelines are.
The issue is that 2024 is believed to possibly be the hottest year on record, since the last hottest year on record which was..*checks notes*…2023.

Died. From heat
