The gear traffic controllers have to wear in heat is obscene
Hard hat
Long sleeve shirt
Long pants
Boots
And a high viz over the shirt
Surely their bodies are overheating - it’s unsafe work practice

My partner once worked on a hotmix patching gang, where she had to do stop and go duties as well.
I can remember the inclement weather temp for all outdoor workers then was 34deg.
Problem these days is, everyone has since given up their own workers rights through fear of being sacked if they spoke up.
