New Orleans Workers Demand Fair Pay and Housing | New Orleans News

New Orleans city workers are struggling to afford rent and basic living costs, prompting Tulane students to urge a $2.80 hourly wage hike and housing stipends for public employees. Their push stems from a study linking poverty, outmigration, and rising crime — especially in a city reliant on hospitality jobs. They argue that fixing affordability isn’t just about survival, but also about public safety, citing examples from cities like D.C. and Savannah. While crime stats are down, council members are weighing these bold proposals to ensure workers can stay in the city they serve.

Beat the Heat Stay Hydrated | New Orleans News

Heat’s hitting hard — health officials are urging everyone, especially kids and elders, to stay indoors during peak sun hours. Watch for signs of dehydration like fatigue, thirst, and heavy sweating, and act fast: cool down and hydrate. If someone stops sweating, can’t talk, or passes out, call 911. Outdoor workers should start early, hydrate with water or coconut water, wear light gear, and take breaks. Kids may not complain — if they seem sluggish, get them inside and offer something cold. For everyone else: sunscreen, hats, shade, and constant hydration are your best bets. Stay cool, stay hydrated — it’s your only real defense.
