This practical, “how-to” guide provides resources to win health and safety improvements through collective bargaining while strengthening the union in the process. Union leaders, activists and negotiating committees who bargain with employers over health and safety issues can use this guide to build a contract campaign around health and safety, draft new contract language, or bargain on health and safety between contracts.
The heart of this online resource is an extensive collection of sample contract language, taken from actual collective bargaining agreements. The 2024 online edition has new language on a range of hazards, including current issues such as infectious disease, introduction of new technology, and hazards related to climate change. The guide also has tips for building a contract campaign, contract enforcement, and continuous bargaining.
