@alicetragedy@mastodon.social As someone who works from home without an air conditioner I support this. If it gets too hot I will absolutely lie on the floor and wait for it to pass.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Make the duplicitous, conniving energy companies pay for it.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social I always found it puzzling that we have regulations forbidding work in offices when it's below 18°C (inside), but there are no regulations on the other side and people can be forced to work in 40°C theoretically, the employer just needs to provide water.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social as someone working in a space with no AC, I can wholeheartedly endorse this. We have had execs out where I work complaining about heat in front of us and thwy do not get that when they get to leave we don't. No work at all would give them an excellent perspective

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social People up in northern regions should stop acting as if *their* normal is *everyone's* normal. 30°C is nothing. Get a grip.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social How about putting an end to capitalism once and for all? Then you could enjoy the summer too.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Why would politicians push a regulation that forces them to fight the climate crisis? :)

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social we actually have a law in denmark that requires workplaces to provide an environment (for "sedentary" workers) where the temperature needs to be between 18C and 25C - but it is largely ignored in my experience, and it has special provisions for "heatwaves" which basically amount to "🤷 whaddya gonna do" ref: https://www.retsinformation.dk/eli/retsinfo/2025/10207#:~:text=Kapitel%209 (in danish)

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social What's more likely is that working day would turn into working night as hours are not regulated and it's easier for businesses to implement.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social The #EuropeanTradeUnionConfederation #ETUC [1] called for EU-wide working temperature regulations in July 2022 [2]. Existing rules cited for BE+HU+LV+SI+ES (+ME non-EU).

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social The Decree was published on 27 May 2025 and reflects the intentions of the French government for increasingly frequent and intense heatwaves to form an integral part of the risk assessment and prevention measures that must be taken by employers. https://iuslaboris.com/insights/too-hot-to-work-france-introduces-new-heatwave-law/

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social I agree. And if such legislation does not pass (since these are of course the same politicians who put business interests ahead of climate), there's always the good old Gandhi method of civil disobedience.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social We (Ontario Canada) have had more tornado and tornado warnings than we used to get. The longer growing season and less snow does not compensate for this. Also the extreme heat coupled with humidity is not fun. I wish our Canadian politicians would pay attention.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Instead, lobbyists: "Europe must prioritize artificial intelligence over its immediate climate ambitions or risk surrendering its tech sovereignty to China." https://www.politico.eu/article/europe-choose-ai-climate-goals-data-center-chief-warns/ (Data centre computers get better conditions than labourers.)

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Holy mother of Christ. They are rising up. Not the degrees, the people. Both, actually, but still, we need to fast track automation. Forget the energy requirements, burn the oil if you have to. We cannot be without labor.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social I will agree, that is a thought.

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social But I'm a delivery driver for a wholesaler in the #netherlands , so I deliver fresh food and cool drinks to oh so many people who really need it. The point being, if I were to not do that and all of my colleagues with me, how would that end for our customers and their customers/patients?

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social 🚿 4 times a day 😇... 🔥 🔥.. Drink lots of lots of water to avoid dehydration. Try to eat watermelon 🍉 if available to balance ur water lvl. Cucumber 🥒 also a good source of water... Onion is the best heat resistant and keep u safe from heatwave... Rest is in god hand 🤗🤗

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social Honestly, in this heat it’s even hard to think, let alone work

@alicetragedy@mastodon.social maybe we should push for regulations to allow people — ALL people — to stop driving. Forever.
