## Resource

A postal worker in North Texas died from heat exposure while on his delivery route, reigniting calls for urgent workplace safety reforms. With temperatures soaring into the triple digits, advocates and unions are demanding stronger federal regulations — particularly from OSHA — to protect outdoor workers like mail carriers, who often lack adequate breaks or cooling. This tragedy follows a similar death last year, leading to a fine against the USPS, and underscores the growing crisis of heat-related fatalities in essential jobs.
