Fired Up! Workers For Heat Justice | Jessica Martinez, National COSH

Описание: Extreme heat need not be a death sentence for workers and communities. With enough coordination, organizing, and care, we can build a safer, cooler, and more just world for everyone.

The National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (National COSH), operates at the intersection of labor and health, supporting workers’ leadership for health, safety, and power and convening a national federation of 25 local affiliates.

In recent years, National COSH has worked to address extreme heat as a workplace hazard. Its Fired Up! campaign educates and empowers workers to recognize and prevent heat illness, as well as advocate for safer conditions in their workplaces.

In this video, Jessica Martinez, National COSH’s executive director, outlines how National COSH’s theory of change begins with protecting and empowering individual workers and extends into broader policy advocacy.
