New Business Item 34 Action:Awaiting Debate
The NEA will provide research services to state and local affiliates, upon request, to inform locals and members of the health and safety laws and regulations in members’ workplaces. The research will also include simple, step-by-step instructions on how to file a report, including required forms, specific contact information on where to send the information, and/or whistleblower protections, if any.
Rationale/Background
Some affiliates and locals lack the capacity to conduct critical research necessary to inform organizing efforts and assist members to report on unsafe and unhealthy working conditions.
