Furthermore, Every day of heat costs the economy 431 million euros. “We can no longer afford to be inactive.” More heat protection is needed. For employees who often work under time pressure, the figure is 48 percent. DGB boss Yasmin Fahimi expects increasing work failures due to heat and calls for a new heat default money. “In extreme cases, weather-related work loss will not be missed in the future,” Fahimi told the German Press Agency. “Therefore, the legislator is called upon to find regulations for this, which secure a default for employees and employers in the future in solidarity.” Numerous employees are particularly affected by heat stress, said Fahimi.
In addition, In the roofing trade, there is already a default if a work assignment has to be cancelled at too high temperatures. Demands for a default with state aid had already existed in the past, for example, from the IG BAU – for days when record values prevail and it must be said: “down from the construction, from the field, from the polluted roof terrace”.
