This headline reads like something out of a South Park script. Our members in the fire service around the world put their lives on the line to save others. These continued attacks on public service workers are an attack on the safety of us all.

@BBC 🔟 When workers have the right to organize, workplace safety improves for EVERYONE. The solution is clear: Governments must invest in quality public services that respond to climate risks AND ensure decent working conditions that protect the workers who protect us all. 🌱🌎.

@BBC 6️⃣ Community health workers have almost zero carbon footprint yet face the worst climate impacts. In Pakistan, we supported the launch of their first union federation, to grow their power to demand govt action on heat risks 💪 #ClimateJustice #UnionPower.

@BBC 4️⃣ "Hot Work, Stop Work" is our demand for governments to set maximum workplace temperatures beyond which work MUST stop - without wage penalties. Heat is an occupational hazard that needs legal recognition! ⚠️ #OccupationalSafety.
