- Host of The Shake Up, Paul Chislett, has stayed over this episode as a Special Guest.
- We talk about the implications of the disaster in the gulf of Mexico, and I say we should treat the BP corporation as a person, try them for Criminal Negligence causing Death for each of the workers who died on that oil rig. All because BP could save some money on the installation.
- We discuss a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives looking at a 30 year high for economic disparity between the rich and the poor, in Quebec, Canada.
- We talk about the strike that we narrowly averted in the town of Tecumseh, Ont.

WOHIS Health and safety Minute:
An Expert Advisory Panel has been established to conduct a comprehensive review of the province’s occupational health and safety system.
The panel will research best practices which improve workplace safety in national and international jurisdictions and will look at a range of issues including:
a.. Safety practices in a workplace and entry-level safety training
b.. Impact of the underground economy on health and safety practices
c.. Legislation and how it serves worker safety
The Expert Advisory Panel will report back to the Minister of Labour in Fall 2010 with recommendations and options for operational, policy and structural improvements for consideration.
This opportunity to provide comments is the first of several steps in the consultation process to be undertaken by the panel.
There is a meeting of local activists being planned to put our collective heads together to craft the presentation that reflects our thoughts as to what we see as the priorities. For more inormation about this meeting please contact WOHIS - Windsor Occupational Health Information SERVICE - at 3129 Marentette Avenue, directly behind Devonshire Mall, or call us at 519-254-5157.
Remember you have the right to a safe and healthy workplace!
