Labor and Employment - Greenhouse Workers - Collective Bargaining and Heat Protection

Summary

The bill lets employees of greenhouse and other enclosed farms organize, choose a union and bargain collectively, and it orders employers to give paid 5‑minute rest breaks each hour when indoor temperatures reach 90 °F or higher. It also directs the Labor Secretary to set up bargaining rules and to investigate violations, though no monetary penalties can be imposed.
