Try being a roofer down here in the summers. If the temperature was in the 90's, on a roof it could exceed 150. You had the sun beating down on you and the roof reflecting heat up at you. Staying hydrated and wearing hats was a must. I had a brother-in-law who was a roofer. When I was a lot younger, I would help him if he had trouble finding people for side jobs. He did commercial roofing and would do residential occasionally to make some extra money. People can and will work under the most debilitating conditions. When people complain about their working conditions they should stop and think about others who are not as fortunate.
