What the petition asks
The Government should set a maximum working temperature in kitchens and restaurants of 38 degrees C, and require employers to allow their staff to refuse to work when the temperature exceeds 38C without penalty. This should benefit everyone in the industry and help keep workplace health and morale.
Because the hospitality industry needs more working rights to be able to stop employers forcing us to work in unfavourable conditions.
And to be able to let us give our consent to sign in or opt out to working in uncomfortable temperature.
