Happy International Worker’s Day! Today, workers around the world celebrate the achievements of the labour movement, and the working class. There are tons of ways workplaces can—and should—support their employee’s health, from creating safe and sustainable working conditions, to offering strong health benefits to supporting workers with paid sick leaves and disability insurance. 

In the latest installment of Sandy Unscripted, Sandy Bridges talks to Josh Pavan, a labour researcher and organizer about the role both unions and activism play in making sure workers’ health is protected—and how you can help yourself, and others, advocate for stronger rights and protections.
