Im in california. Is it against the law or anything. I work security and it is pouring rain. We have to foot patrol around the yard. Last night i walked around and got soaked due to them not giving us rain gear. Now im sick and dont feel good. I spoke to my work and they said that if we do not walk aound we will get fired. So now i have to get sickc everyday? Is there anything i can do. I'd sue them if i could or can i report them or anything?

Tell them that you need rain gear. Or you can buy a raincoat for a few dollars and keep yourself dry.
There are some jobs that are not always comfortable

Ask them to buy some raingear for you.
And you didn't get sick because of the rain.. traditionally, the reason that people think rain and cold weather make them sick is because when its cold/rainy out people come into closer contact than they usually do - because more people stay indoors longer due to the weather, and put their germs on everything. Then, because you're inside too, you walk by and pick them up. You got sick from a virus you picked up somewhere.

No, you can't sue. Even my dog knows better than to go out in the rain. If you aren't smart enough to stay dry, why should the employer be at fault.?

You accepted the job knowing what the duties entailed. Stop being such a baby and dress for the weather.

Ever hear of a rain coat?
Umbrella?
Jacket?
Seriously - of you're old enough to work you are old enough to dress accordingly for the rain. Good grief.

have you tried using an umbrella? Also, if you don't like working security, maybe you should change jobs.

Buy a raincoat.
NOT rocket science.
