Could be that you had a company council/union and management agreement, or could be that catering has its own rules, but I bust a nut on the issue with HR when my guys threatened to walk out of the office when it got to 35 because the air con had broken down. The reply was clear. "No law stipulates a max so if they walk out, they're on disciplinary action". To which my reply was "If one of the ladies, or gents come to that, faint, you'll be on disciplinary action". Good job I got on well with the HR Dir or that moment of anger could have cost me, but instead, it got us a water cooler and numerous desk fans in the office until the Air Con problem was resolved. Wow! Anyway, turns out some of the guys had seen the Company Council rep (no union in our place) - and he confirmed that there was little we could do other than ask that the company be reasonable as no law enforced action on a Max temperature. Go figure.
