Workers say they were fired for leaving jobs in sweltering heat. Is the state on their side?

THEY WORKED NEARLY three triple-digit days before it felt unsafe to go on.

Maria Paredes said she already had a headache while working in a tomato field near Dixon on June 5, when high temperatures hit between 99 to 107 degrees. The hotter the next day got, the 40-year-old farmworker said, “the more it started to go back to my head, and I started to feel like vomiting.”
