We are partnering with the University of Illinois at Chicago School of Public Health and we'll have more news soon about the new venue, housing options and other key details for this year’s National Conference on Worker Safety and Health. It’s more important than ever to stay connected, support one another, and organize together for a better future.
The National Conference on Worker Safety and Health is the only national gathering of its kind. We bring together a diverse, inclusive and bilingual group of workers, occupational health and safety experts, unions, activists and academics united around common goals. We join together to celebrate and encourage workers' power, make our workplaces safer and reduce the toll of on-the-job injuries, illnesses and fatalities.
