Climate Lockdowns Have Arrived: Spain introduces ‘paid climate leave’ so workers ‘can avoid travelling during weather emergencies’ – ‘The worker must refrain from going to work…in accordance with the climate emergency’
UK Guardian: Spain introduces paid climate leave after deadly floods – Government approves up to four days of paid leave so workers can avoid travelling during weather emergencies – Spain’s leftwing government has approved “paid climate leave” of up to four days to allow workers to avoid travelling during weather emergencies, a month after floods killed at least 224 people. …
The new measure aims to “regulate in accordance with the climate emergency” so that “no worker must run risks”, labour minister Yolanda Díaz told public broadcaster RTVE. If emergency authorities raise the alarm about a risk, “the worker must refrain from going to work”, said Díaz. Employees can resort to a reduced working day beyond the four-day period, a mechanism that already exists for emergencies, the government said. The legislation was inspired by similar laws in Canada, RTVE reported. “In the face of climate denialism from the right, the Spanish government is committed to green policies,” Díaz said, according to a report in El País.
