I work for a company here in Portland Oregon that does metal plating. There is zero air conditioning of any kind and no way to cool off. Inside the temperature is always ten degrees hotter then whatever it is outside.

Portland is experiencing a heat wave. Tommorow (Monday) the temperature is to reach 113. So it will be 123 degrees inside where we work.

We work 10 hour shifts of heavy lifting. They are providing zero ways for us to stay cool. We do not even have a working water fountain. We have a cooler but it's warm half the time.

Some employees are well over 50. I find it extremely irresponsible and unethical to ask us to work. I'm sure the conversation came up at some point with the owners and to think that they said screw it, they will survive is absolutely horrible and I've lost all respect for them.

Am I wrong? Is money really more important? Like seriously? It's one single day they could give us off and refuse too.

Eastside plating is the company name and if anyone could blow up the phones tommorow about it go for it.

I'm bad!
