Comment on Polanski calls for workplace temperature cap as Labour dithers

Seeing that heatwaves are becoming more and more commonplace, it makes sense. I mean I’m an office worker and I felt like death was at the door Monday and Tuesday when it was really hot, so I cannot imagine what someone with, say, a construction job has to endure.
We can’t rely on bosses to do the right thing and send people home when it’s too hot, we need something in the law.

A big glass office building was a furnace on Tuesday and of course none of the windows open. It has air conditioning but it’s not really designed for these kind of temperatures so it wasn’t really doing anything. I actually did go home in the end and just worked remotely, but there were people that just stayed in the office all day. Presumably they are the cold blooded lizard people we hear about.
