Take the farm owners and tie them to a pole in their greenhouse for a couple of days.

You need to first off raise your standards for working conditions for yourself, then you need to show solidarity.

No pride can come from telling people how much your boss abuses you.

Humidity counts, plus you're accustomed to it, they likely aren't

If you work all day in high temps, you're accustomed to it. It happens pretty fast if you're out in the heat all day, at least for me, before I got pots anyway.

That really sucks I'm sorry to hear that. I'm just going off my own experience but of course people are different, I shouldn't have assumed I'm sorry.
