Over 150 Activists Gather at National Worker Safety and Health Summit
On Saturday November 7, worker health and safety advocates from around the country gathered in Philadelphia to share ideas and develop campaign strategies to promote worker safety and health on the national policy level. Attendees participated in workgroups that developed detailed ideas for building campaigns in each of the following areas: ergonomics, farmworker safety and health, family and victims' rights, immigrant workers, OSHA reform legislation, Green Jobs health and safety, worker safety and health training.
Each workgroup produced a detailed plan of action--these plans will be posted on this site as they are compiled.
One of the highlights of the Summit was the launching of the "16 Deaths per Day" campaign by the Brave New Foundation, which presented two films highlighting the seriousness of the problem of worker safety and health. Watch the video:
