“Sin delegados no hay prevención” es el lema de la campaña que lanzamos con motivo del 28 de abril, Día Mundial de la Seguridad y la Salud en el Trabajo. Este año, coincidiendo con la campaña de la Confederación Sindical Internacional, titulada “En el trabajo, tu salud y seguridad depende de leyes firmes, aplicación estricta, sindicatos fuertes”, que defiende la necesidad de sindicatos fuertes como la mejor protección para los trabajadores y trabajadoras, desde USO hemos enfocado la campaña en poner en valor la labor y la necesidad de la participación de los Delegados de Prevención.
