Meltdown Monday: Day of online action


On Monday 14 July, we will take online action, sharing the campaign and calling for action against heat.

This is an inclusive campaign designed for anyone, anywhere!

Tipping Point Tuesday – Day of banner drops


Form a banner drop crew and shout it from the roof tops with a banner drop!

Go for a location affected by heat, or where the banner is impossible to ignore!

Workers Wednesday – Day of lunchtime walk-outs


On your lunch break, gather your union members together, and take a photo outside you workplace, holding heat strike placards, banners, and union banners or flags.

Warm Weekend – Cool stations across our communities


Set up a Cool Station to help your community in the heat and talk to them about why we need the government and businesses to act on the climate and protect workers from the impacts of extreme weather.

→ How to run a cool station

Any day when it’s hot


Bring a thermometer to your workplace, take a picture of it and post it online using the hashtag #HeatStrike #TooHotToWork

→ If you are a Health & Safety Rep, sign up to receive a thermometer from the TUC
