Reply to comment by patmax17 in Russian President Vladimir Putin unwittingly accelerated the European Union’s green transition with his war in Ukraine, with the 27-nation bloc reducing its dependency on Russian fossil fuels and increasing its renewable energy use over the past year, the EU’s climate czar said Tuesday. by MrGuttFeeling

I don’t know the answer to your question, but on the subject of smart working, why can’t cashiers have chairs? Seems unnecessary to have them always standing by a cash register.

That’s only a US thing. In every other country the unions demanded that on day one. It’s actually hard to fathom why this still exists in the US to be honest, it can’t affect profits surely?

Hell, it’s the law in the uk that if a job can be done sitting down then your employer needs to make reasonable efforts to have a chair available for you if you want or require one.

They have them at Aldi but that's about it.

I think it's just a bad mindset by employers. An "If you have time to lean you have time to clean" sort of thing.

Anyone in a low-skilled job is expected to suffer. It's a horrible mind-set.
