I was watching the Weather Channel and they indicated the cleanup efforts were hampered by the heat and humidity. That workers had to rest for 40 minutes out of every hour (20 work 40 rest) due to fears of heat exhaustion.

What. The. Heck???????

First off it’s on the water, so yes it’s warm but the breezes cool things considerably. Second, plenty of water, hats and sunscreen will do you just fine.

It’s amazing we get any outdoor work done at all here in the South.

Clearly union labor. There is no way that anyone needs to work only 1/3 of an hour due to heat and humidity. It’s ridiculous!!!

Precisely. That is why the Tugs ordered it. And they are getting paid scale, OT, hazard pay, shift differentials, and a per diem allowance for beer.
