SAFETY

When workers are taken care of, everyone benefits. The antagonism between business and organized labor is not inevitable.  When employees are considered disposable, businesses can become less interested in protecting them. Employees also may lack someone to intervene on their behalf with management on safety issues when there is no union representation. When workplaces become organized, the need for cooperation becomes more obvious. Local 18007 Executive Board and members with the support of People Gas developed its own safety process identified across the nation as the P.E.A.C.E. Team (Planning Effective Actions Controlling Exposures) This is solely a Union member to member process to ensure that all of our members return home to their families. The PEACE Team has completed over 50,000 peer to peer observations since its development.
