Your OSHA regulations should be posted in your workplace - this is law. there should be a number to call on this poster and they will let you know what the law is. If this is law, they will contact your employer and they will be fined. Some employers post this in places that are hard to see (which is also against regulations)

No. Years ago public restrooms, like gas stations, never had the hot side of the faucet on to keep from getting sued by people being burned. Now if you work in a restaurant, the place where dishes are done would have to have hot water, but not the bathroom.

Depends on your state's laws governing business practices, however...
I think they are required to provide the simple necessities of life, though some would agree hot water is a luxury, I personally do not.

Unless it is an eating establishment that requires you to wash your hands...I would doubt that they would be required to have hot water for you. Contact your local health department and ask them. They are the ones that usually regulate things like this.

No.
Ever been to a construction site? Porta toilet, and no running water at all - not even cold!
Certainly not illegal. Don't like the job, get a new one. This is a free country!

unless it is a restaurant, or someplace that requires the washing of dishes, or hands... then no, they don't HAVE to have hot water. Sorry. Not their problem.
