Should we have ‘Climate Leave’?

A statutory maximum working temperature is among the proposals being put forward by the union Unite to protect workers in extreme weather conditions. Unite is proposing four days paid ‘climate leave’ for those travelling in hazardous conditions, along with a maximum working temperature, which they believe is dependent on the type of work.

Joining Anton Savage to discuss this is John Barry, Founder of MSS the HR people and member of the ISME (Irish Small and Medium Enterprises) National Council and Tara Shine, CEO of Change by Degree.
