We have spent the later half of January out in the field, arming workers with the tools and information they need to understand their rights on the job and to take action. We will keep us safe. Slide 1: With workers training to go into maritime jobs on ferries, docks, shipping containers at the West Oakland Job Resource Center . We shared information about how workers can protect themselves working in extreme heat. Slide 2: In El Monte training teachers on how to comply with the new California law that requires school districts to teach students about labor rights & workplace health and safety. #ab800 Slide 3: With domestic workers and day laborers sharing information about chemical safety at the Multicultural Institute of Berkeley. #knowyourrights #workerpower ...

LOHP - Labor Occupational Health Program

1 week ago

Bertha Servín works at a large industrial laundry in Chino, Calif. Servín and her co-workers work long shifts processing linens for hospitals and hotels. They work with large machines steaming napkins or nurses’ uniforms, pushing heavy carts that weigh over 500 lbs. In Chino it can regularly get up to 118 degrees in the summer months and building coolers don’t do much to cool down the warehouse. Servín is a shop steward with her union, Workers United, and attended worker leadership training through LOHP’s WOSHTEP program where she learned about her rights under the law. Now Servín is sharing what she learned with other workers and helping to organize health and safety committees to address key hazards of concern, including heat, ergonomics and chemicals. ***Bertha Servín trabaja en una lavandería industrial grande en Chino, California. Servín y sus compañeros trabajan turnos largos procesando ropa de cama para hospitales y hoteles. Trabajan con máquinas de vapor grandes para lavar servilletas o uniformes de enfermeras, empujando carritos pesados que superan las 500 libras. En Chino, las temperaturas en verano pueden alcanzar regularmente los 118 grados y los enfriadores del edificio no ayudan mucho a reducir el calor en el almacén. Pero Servín es delegada sindical con su unión, Workers United, y asistió a una capacitación de liderazgo para trabajadores a través del programa WOSHTEP de LOHP, donde aprendió sobre sus derechos bajo la ley.Ahora Servín comparte lo que aprendió con otros trabajadores y ayuda a organizar comités de salud y seguridad para abordar los principales riesgos preocupantes, incluidos el calor, la ergonomía y los productos químicos.📷@joycexiphotography#safejobstogether #lohp50 #healthandsafety WSRJB Workers United-SEIU ...
