More than six in ten cleaning and security workers worldwide say extreme weather has made their work harder or more dangerous in the past three years, according to a major new survey published today by UNI Global Union. The report, Weathering It: Protecting Cleaners and Security Officers in an Era of Extreme Weather, documents the physical harm, income loss and psychological toll being borne by some of the lowest-paid workers in the global economy — workers who cannot retreat indoors, log in from home, or refuse a shift without losing their earnings.
