EP44: Miami Dade's New HEAT ORDINANCE can IMPACT the Green Industry
10/13/23 • 40 min
On this Episode of The Plant Movement Podcast, your host Willie Rodriguez dives deep into the scorching controversy surrounding Miami Dade's proposed Heat Ordinance. Joined by esteemed guests Arianna Cabrera de Onã , Chief People Officer and General Counsel at Costa Farms, and Barney Rutzke Jr., President of Railroad Nursery, Inc., President of the Dade County Farm Bureau, and key member of various agricultural boards, this episode sets the stage for an intense conversation.
Miami’s agricultural industry is on edge as commissioners prepare to sign a new Heat Ordinance. While the industry is no stranger to safety regulations, this proposed ordinance has sent shockwaves through the agricultural sector. Our guests bring their wealth of knowledge and experience to dissect the fine print that seems to impose unnecessary fines and regulations. They argue that existing standards by OSHA are more than adequate and that this new ordinance is not only redundant but also deeply unfair.
Tune in as our experts unravel the complexities of this heated issue, shedding light on the implications for Miami’s Agricultural, Horticultural, and Construction Community. Gain insights into the real challenges these industries face, the potential economic effects, and what this ordinance could mean for the future of agriculture in the region.
Willie, Arianna, and Barney fearlessly explore the nuances of the new Heat Ordinance, providing a platform for listeners to understand the stakes involved. Don't miss this riveting episode!
