Union members have embarked on a new postcard campaign to make our workplaces safe and healthy. Contact your union for a supply of postcards for you and your workmates. 700 workers are injured and two die at work every week. A further eight die from ill health and disease developed as a result of their work.
Countless workers suffer from stress, overload and fatigue.
Our current law is not ensuring we are healthy and safe at work. By overseas standards our workplace death, injury and illness stats are a disgrace. We need a new law that keeps us safe and healthy. We are campaigning for a law which gives trained delegates the right to require that unsafe conditions are fixed. We need a law that recognises workplace stress, overload and fatigue as health and safety issues.
