"This book is a valuable tool for trade unionists who bargain over health and safety issues. It offers advice on bargaining strategies, gathering information, setting priorities, and reviewing both the law and existing contract language.
The heart of the book is an extensive collection of more than 300 sample contract clauses negotiated by unions from across the country and Canada, arranged by topic. Topics range from rights and responsibilities of labor and management to specific workplace hazards such as heavy lifting, chemicals, and noise. It also covers other bargaining issues that have emerged in recent years, including ergonomics, indoor air quality, job exposure to infectious diseases, workplace violence, and new technology."
