WOHIS Health and safety Minute:

Yesterday (25 November) is the UN International Day on the Elimination of Violence
against Women. Violence against women at work is a serious problem. One-third of
women are subjected to violent attacks at some point in their lives. 
Women in many different economic sectors also experience violence in their working
life, including domestic work, manufacturing, agriculture and the hospitality
industry, while sexual harassment remains a serious problem across the spectrum of
employment and in every part of the world.

All workers have the right to a safe and healthy workplace.

For more information on this subject or any health and safety concern, please
contact WOHIS - Windsor Occupational Health Information Service - at 3129 Marentette
Avenue (behind Devonshire Mall) or call us at 519-254-5157.

About the Show

All In a Days Work is a radio show on the University of Windsor's community radio station, CJAM 99.1FM, and is aired live every Thursday at 4pm. This is the only labour hour in the city, which is also hosted by worker's for worker's. This show examines workers issues from the perspective of workers in a highly critical fashion. We can all recognize that working people are fundamentally under attack and always have been. There has been a drastic change in our society over the past thirty years which has culminated into increased working hours, workers making less despite working more, increased exploitation and oppression - even for those who work 40 plus hours in a week, and an all out attack on the social safety net which is entirely based on the corporate led neoliberal agenda. All In a Days Work is a radio show that seeks to let the voice of labour be heard and is hopefully one of the many elements of a broader social movement for the working class to take the power back.
