In recent years we\u2019ve seen workers taking action to keep cool, and nationally we\u2019ve been demanding a maximum working temperature.<\/p>\n<p>For Summer 2025, the TUC, Heat Strike and the Hazards Campaign are collaborating on a week of action. Between 14 \u2013 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.<span id=\"more-356\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Join us on Wednesday 25 June.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Please note:<\/strong> Capacity for this event is\u00a0very limited.
