The Daily PollUNITE TRADE UNION is seeking a meeting with Enterprise Minister Peter Burke to discuss its proposals of a statutory maximum working temperature and four days of paid “climate leave”.
The union called for an action level of 24C where heat management controls must be put in place and an a maximum temperature of 30 degrees – or 27 degrees for “strenuous jobs”.
It also suggests that “climate leave” should apply when extreme weather conditions make travelling hazardous or result in pressing household needs for workers.
A survey conducted by Unite found that the majority of respondents did not feel safe travelling to and from work during Storm Éowyn and many people had to take annual leave or unpaid leave.
So today we’re asking: Should workers get paid ‘climate leave’?

The watch is very hipster looking. I can see it now, people in Pubs glued to these things with their tounges hanging out as send Facebook updates.
It’s going to be a complete fail. I will bet any amount of money.
I think watchs will sell enough for profit at least.
I have €200 I would like to bet! What odds are you giving?
They released a Phone watch years ago?
Penny from Inspector Gadget had a computer watch and she is not a hipster.
Good stuff. Nice to hear there is strong competition in both VR and wearable tech.
Samsung working on “wearable glasses” … the future is now!
Does the watch tell the time??
An Oculius rift style vr headset???
I had one of those once and the wheels fell off…
With decent battery life the watch could be a winner. It only needs to do the basics of messaging, calling. You can set it as wifi hotspot and use any tablet/ipod/laptop device to do your browsing.
