Don’t miss any organizing opportunity. Safety and health is great organizing tool. You can deal with safety and health issues without being an expert. Creative struggles for workplace health and safety will energize your organizing efforts. This is a non-technical approach focusing on involving and mobilizing workers — not OSHA enforcement or regulations.

It is sponsored by the Washington State Labor Council and the Washington State Labor Education and Research Center.
