Mother of Gabriel Infante, 24, sues employer for $1m, saying construction workers had no protections from extreme heat

A foreman insisted Espinoza call the police, claiming Infante’s bizarre behavior was due to drugs, and the foreman pushed for a drug test when emergency medical services arrived.

Yeah, it is not within your right as an employer to direct the medical care of your employee. Piece of shit foreman. He should be directly sued himself.

This was completely avoidable with common sense which most conservatives don’t seem to have.

Common sense standards for worker protection is literally illegal in Texas.

Why hasn't OSHA done something with regards to Texas's evil bullshit?
