Taking Action over Working in Heat

Free Organising Seminar on Taking action over working in heat

Wednesday 25th June (11.00 – 16.30) at TUC Congress House, London

As the world gets hotter, so do our workplaces. In recent years we’ve seen workers taking action to keep cool, and nationally we’ve been demanding a maximum working temperature.

For Summer 2025, the TUC, Heat Strike and the Hazards Campaign are collaborating on a week of action. Between 14 – 20 July, we are asking union activists to take a form of action to organise against working in unsafe, unreasonably hot temperatures. This seminar is aimed at trade union reps and activists who are already planning to take action, and is an opportunity to meet others and plan in detail your organising activity to build for the week of action.

Join us on Wednesday 25 June.

Please note: Capacity for this event is very limited. Please only register if you are able to attend. Organisers reserve the right to cancel registrations if certain thresholds are not met.

We regret that we are unable to cover travel expenses. Please speak to your union for help with this.

Union reps have a right to reasonable paid time off to carry out union duties and undertake training.

Only authorised TUC staff will have access to your personal data and they are obliged to respect its confidentiality, and store the data securely.
