Sintepav-Bahia, through the president Gazo , the financial director and deputy senator Bebeto Galvão, starts on Monday (15), the union’s participation in the Action of the International Federation of Construction and Wood Workers – ICM regarding the International Day in Memory of Victims of Accidents and Related Diseases at work – 28 April.

This year, ICM will highlight the risks that lead to the loss of lives of workers in our sectors on a daily basis, under the theme: ENOUGH! – LETS TALK ABOUT RISKS.
In memory of those we’ve lost, we’re taking collective action to ensure all workers are aware of their rights and all employers understand their obligations to identify, assess and control workplace risks. Join in with us!

Brazil: Melhores condições de trabalho!

Melhores condições de trabalho! Esse foi o motivo que levou milhares de trabalhadores às ruas no ano de 1886, em uma greve operária nos Estados Unidos durante a revolução industrial com objetivo de conseguir melhores condições de trabalho. Iniciado em Chicago (EUA), o movimento ganhou força e rapidamente se espalhou pelo mundo. Mais de um século depois, o movimento para a melhoria das condições de trabalho e saúde dos trabalhadores e trabalhadoras continua, agora também inovando em pesquisas que visam melhorias na saúde e bem-estar dos trabalhadores, buscando soluções e prevenção para a exposição ao ambiente de trabalho, dentre outros pontos importantes. Em alusão ao dia primeiro de maio o Centro de Estudos da Saúde do Trabalhador e Ecologia Humana (Cesteh/ENSP/Fiocruz) organizou uma programação comemorativa que será realizada ao longo do mês com temas sobre Trabalho e Ambiente, com a participação de figuras importantes na luta da saúde do trabalhador.
