@unitetheunion: How hot is your workplace today? 🌡️ While temperatures climbed above 30°C, bus driver cabs can exceed 40°C, creating dangerous working conditions and pushing drivers to their limits. Many drivers report faulty air conditioning, inadequate cooling systems, and pressure to keep buses running despite unsafe temperatures. Right now, Unite London & Eastern is demanding urgent action from TfL and bus operators as part of the Fight Fatigue Now campaign - and with the Mayor of London recent statement of support, Tfl may be starting to listen. As the UK experiences increasingly frequent heatwaves and rising tempretures, our union will continue fighting for stronger workplace protections across regions and sectors. That means better health and safety measures, effective cooling systems, improved ventilation, sensible workplace adjustments, and employers taking responsibility for keeping workers safe in extreme heat. No one should have to risk their health doing their job ✊ #Heatwave #UK #WorkersRights #BusDrivers #HealthAndSafety #BusDriver

Hopefully this isn't the same in most of the rest of the country. I'm pretty sure most of the busses in my city have aircon in the cab, one of the drivers has been wearing a full suit during these heatwaves. He could be a manager though. Definitely agree there needs to be a/c for the passengers... and any drivers that don't have it.

This is why my partner left bus driving, got a lorry licence and now enjoys AC in summer and heating in winter. It’s the bare minimum when driving a large vehicle.

Don’t worry though because the directors of the company will have full working air con in their offices.

it's not really fair on bus drivers should work in this extreme hot weather, I saw one today that had to announce that bus was terminate before it got to the last destination, they need extra fans to facilitate them!
