OK, it's not entirely true; there is no provision for leaving work - but there is clear definition of what is "unreasonable", and your employers are committing an offense if they don't provide you with the means to warm yourself.  In principle, you can threaten them with a prosecution or, alternatively, apply for a civil injunction requiring them to comply with the legal duty. The latter could also provide specific compensation as well.

The relevant legislation is section 6 of the Offices Shops & Railway Premises Act 1963. The appropriate bits say -
--- Quote ---(2) Where a substantial proportion of the work done in a room to which the foregoing subsection applies does not involve severe physical effort, a temperature of less than 16 degrees Celsius (61F) shall not be deemed, after the first hour, to be a reasonable temperature while work is going on.

(3)...there shall be provided for persons who are employed to work in a room to which... this section would apply, conveniently accessible and effective means of enabling them to warm themselves.

(6)It shall be the duty of the employer of persons for whom means of enabling them to warm themselves are provided in pursuance of subsection (3) of this section to afford them reasonable opportunities for using those means, and if he fails so to do he shall be guilty of an offence."

--- End quote ---

I meant yes we can for all of it. I am the obama of corrupting you.

Josefbugman:
You have been given a "sleep with me card", choose your next move carefully, if its completly meaningless and you might be friends go ahead. But otherwise... tread carefully.

Also, don't worry, its hardly as if you have school tommorrow now is it?

Josefbugman:
Okay, well just "good luck" in general then.

I was just wondering, why is everyone so angry at the moment? All these negative posts, just seems a little odd.
