nebulous

you should definitely talk to your union if this is a thing that has happened before

not having access to water at your workplace definitely violates something

We pushed it last year as last year UK hit 40c and the store hit 45c it was unbearable but our hr and union said there is no obligation except running water ( tap water ) but our water here isn’t potable

okay

if there's no running water then its grounds for legal reprimands

Right now it’s 36c in my warehouse and they went out and bought 330ml of water per person to last from 5pm - 8pm

cockheads

write down the date and people (coworkers and upper management) involved - describe everything that has happened in vivid detail and contact your union

don't talk to HR, they don't have your best interest in mind over the company's

I have a photo of the broken water temperature dates ect and time, I left the union which is shit and recently joined the national one for retailers, luckily I pay extra for better union as this is the same job that tried to work me out of it by giving me worst shifts and essentially being dickheads and bully us out of it, the new union stuck up for me then so hopefully they will now

This is also a known issue like during winter times it gets below freezing, last year during the bad winter storm the INSIDE of my workplace got to -15c

document every single thing, especially them trying to force you out and get coworkers to give supporting statements if you need to

fucking over corporations is your greatest duty, especially those that seek to overexploit you

Like I said one winter it was -15 I had to buy my own PPe I was wearing like 10 layers and I was outside for 1 hour inside for 1 and repeat it was shit as when we finally warmed up we got sent out again

this is why i don't work in retail anymore
our roof had asbestos and a builder ripped some up in the celling and had the store closed down for like a few hours and the boss is like "asbestos? oh it's the safe kind not the dangerous kind!"

and that was just the first job i had

seriously, retail bosses and warehouse bosses are like a fucking amoeba

Trust me I know lmao

sounds illegal

we love illegal workplace practices. happens to me and a hell of a lot if people I know and we still little babies

Our water is back ( drinking one for now ) but now the water for taps and toilets are gone, out of the frying pan into the fire

solution? intentionally make yourself and colleagues shit extraordinary amounts to make the toilets unbearable, forcing the company's hand if management is present at site

malicious compliance

@Ond you are too smart for this

blow up the toilets
