The 16-day heat wave that ended this week has set off alarm bells for unions. "People can't be risking their lives at work," warns Tino Davia, Secretary of Occupational Health and Environment for the UGT Public Services. He warns of a lack of awareness among employers and public institutions that the extreme temperatures of recent years threaten workers' health. "Between climate change deniers and those who believe buildings are not adapted because they were designed for another era, we have a serious problem," he insists.

Mallorca will remain on yellow alert this Saturday due to high temperatures, which will range between 34 and 38 degrees, according to the State Meteorological Agency (Aemet) and reported to Efe.
