Whistleblowers, Injured Workers, OSHA, Workers Comp & Human Rights
July 3 @ 5:00 pm - 8:00 pm PDT (PACIFIC)

Zoom event

The threat to workers who get injured or sick on the job is growing. The
elimination of any oversight of health and safety on the job and the
lack of OSHA inspectors and oversight of dangerous working conditions is
epidemic. The introduction of AI is adding to this deadly mix and the
series of explosions and deaths is escalating. At the same time the
workers comp system has meant that workers have to become lawyers to get
their injuries taken care of and many are permanently disabled because
of the failure to get prompt treatment at all. This panel will look at
the issues, struggles for justice and what workers and unions can do
about this.
