Unions across Europe are calling on governments to introduce legislation to safeguard workers from rising temperatures, after western Europe recorded its hottest June on record.

It's not just the workplaces, it's the housing. I don't want people driving to work sleep deprived after they've struggled to sleep in a hot bedroom all night. Especially not en masse.

Ok granted I didn't take that into account. That's a good point.

Yeah. Either you have a national policy of having ACs accessible to people, or if the temps don‘t drop below 24 C at night people get off work. Seems fair to me.
