| Health and Safety
In this course, we want to bring health and safety back to its political beginnings. CUPW health and safety representatives will explore the different interests of the employer and the union in health and safety. Participants will practice ‘facing management’ and discuss ways to mobilize members around health and safety issues. At the same time, they will develop the skills and knowledge they need to feel confident in participating with management on joint health and safety committees. |
