Join Thunder Bay & District Injured Workers’ Support Group’s Tuesday weekly Zoom session from 10 a.m. to noon. Everyone welcome. Each session will wrap up with a focus on how we can take action on the topics of discussion.
Topic: Faraz Shahidi , scientist with the Institute for Work & Health and assistant professor at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health, will speak on the Consequences of precarious employment for health and safety at work. Drawing on compensation claims data from the Workplace Safety and Insurance Board, Dr Shahidi asks whether workers exposed to precarious employment – such as temporary, part-time, and low-wage jobs – are more likely to experience an occupational injury or illness. He also examines the impact of precarious employment on the workplace transmission of COVID-19.
