Italy's third biggest trades union
confederation Uil on Friday called for an emergency decree
protecting workers against the extreme heat that Italy is
enduring.
"There is no time to discuss protocols," Uil secretary Pierpaolo
Bombardieri in a post on social media.
"We need a decree law immediately that protects workers from
high temperatures and bans work that is particularly exposed
above 33 degrees Celsius," he added.
Earlier the president of Italy's main industrial employers
association Confindustria Carlo Bonomi called for the
application of measures similar to those introduced during the
Covid-19 pandemic to protect workers during periods of extreme
heat. "We need a protocol for wage subsidies and remote working
for workers, like during Covid-19," Bonomi told Start on Sky
TG24.
