Don't force staff to take dangerous journeys to work during cold snap, TUC says

THE TUC has urged employers not to force staff to take dangerous journeys to come in to work after the Met Office issued a yellow warning for snow in much of north Wales and northern and central England today.

The union federation added bosses must show reasonable flexibility and not punish workers by withholding pay or making them use their holiday.

TUC general secretary Paul Nowak said some workers will be left worrying about what to do about getting to work if trains and buses stop running or if schools are forced to close due to snow.
