Cold snap prompts TUC warning


Employers in areas affected by snowy conditions should have put out advice to their staff, the TUC says. As temperatures plummeted, it called on employers not to force staff to make hazardous journeys into work. The TUC called on those who had not already done so to draw up bad weather policies setting out what is expected of staff and what they should do when snow, ice and a lack of public transport prevents them getting to do work.
