My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Massachusetts
I work in an indoor building and was moved to a new office space downstairs. I work 9 hr days in a typical office environment. The particular room I was relocated to has no ac/heat source or control (nor does the room outside of it). So in the winters I brought a space heater and that solved my problem. It is now summer and really hot. The room does not contain any windows nor ventilation either. The only way I can get any ounce of the ac is if I open my door, then open the door to the attached room to get air flow from the main building. I've bought myself a fan but I've noticed over 9 months of working in this space I've developed chronic migraines and asthma. Also being in this dark hot space has taken a toll on my overall mood at the end of the day. I've followed up with my employer about alternatives as I was recently told to keep my doors closed while I was on the phone (quality assurance could hear backround noise from the people in the room adjacent to mine and requested in close my door to maintain call quality). My entire job is also spent 80% on the phones. My employer keeps saying this space is "temporary"but I've been told by other employees there's nowhere else to put me and my boss is just hoping I let it go. With the doors closed and no ventiliation my little office fan does very little. I was told I'd be here "a couple months" but have been there 9. Do I have any rights here? Do indoor office spaces need to be ventilated if you're asked to keep your door closed to the outside air source?
