• Extreme workplace heat, state regulation and trade union strategies
  Heat-related workplace accidents, long-term health damage and deaths are on the rise in Europe due to the climate crisis.
  Who is working in the heat, under what conditions, and how workers are organising to address the unequal burden of heat in the workplace during the climate crisis is a question of power and the central focus of this research project.
  With a focus on the case of the agricultural sector, the aim is to answer four research questions:
  How are European states regulating the exposure to extreme heat in the workplace?
  How are workers and trade unions in Spain and Germany, as well as at EU level, responding to the interaction of extreme heat and the precarisation of working conditions?
  What explains different discourses and strategies? To what extent do they contribute to socio-ecological transformation?
  Based on participant observation, interview data and documents, this project contributes to new insights into the politicisation of heat by workers and trade unions in the climate crisis in Europe.
