As the US faces the hottest summer on record, those who work outdoors face serious heat-related danger. CNN spoke to the family members of two Texas workers who died in heat as high as 119 degrees. Here's what they want people to know. "They cannot work under the same working conditions that they were working under 20 years ago. The weather is not the same anymore," Carla Gates, whose husband Eugene Gates, 66, passed away this June while delivering mail in the Dallas area, said in an interview with CNN at her home in Texas. "We have to save these workers' lives." Produced by John General and Aaron Fisher Supervising Producer: Logan Whiteside #CNN #news
