On International Women’s Day, UNISON’s National Health and Safety Committee and Women’s Committee will be hosting a webinar on the hazards in women’s work.
We will hear from a variety of speakers looking at the hazards women face in the workplace and how we can organise around them. We will be joined by international speaker, Professor Karen Messing, from the University of Quebec whose ground-breaking book ‘One Eyed Science’ published in the late 90s exposed the lack of research and protections for women workers.
Helen Lynn from the Alliance for Cancer Prevention will speak about the work-related causes of breast cancer and what needs to be done to tackle them.
The event will take place via Zoom on 8 March from 16.00 -17.45 and is open to all members.
