Workplace Safety & Health
Not everything your local does is in opposition to the employer. In many workplaces the local sends representatives to committees to work with the employer to improve working conditions. Examples include the labour-management committee and the health and safety committee. To ensure work is structured in a way that protects the health and safety of all workers, the union often sits on a health and safety committee Your representatives on the committee listen to the experiences of different types of workers and propose ways to make work safe.
