The new abnormal will lead to Farm & Horticultural workers not being able to work through the middle of the day. In poor nations and communities, there will be pressure for them to stay on the job. Workers who are members of a trade union movement may have a tiny bit of protection.
In last summer's heatwave in West Asia, the Iranian government sent non-essential workers' home. That's less likely to happen in the USA where illegal migrants are often exploited due to their illegal status. Having those 'illegal aliens', a brutish term for what is effectively a refugee, is a deliberate technique to suppress workers rates, a "Reserve army of workers" to be exploited at the expense of everyone for the benefit of the ruling classes.

In the USA, there will never be protection for workers. Exploitation is the rule here.
Thank you for your informed, scholarly comment, Kevin. Thank you, too, for continuing to share my work and add to it.
