[Above], information on the new global trade union 'Occupational cancer/zero cancer' campaign. Related news releases are at the bottom of this note.
A new guide, 'Occupational Cancer/Zero Cancer: A union guide to prevention', published to mark the launch of the campaign, is backed by all 10 global union federations and the global union confederation ITUC. It is being distributed worldwide.
I have included links to the prevention guide on the International Metalworkers' Federation (IMF) website (English, French and Spanish editions are available online now, Russian is to follow). There are also links to related IMF news releases (English, French and Spanish) and Building and Wood Workers International (BWI) news releases (English and French). Additional links are provided to the new Hazards/IFJ trade union cancer prevention kit (English only) and the IMF cancer webpages (English) and BWI cancer webpages (English and French).
Occupational and environmental cancer prevention is one of the key themes for International Workers' Memorial Day, 28 April (www.hazards.org/wmd). It is expected trade unions in over 100 countries will undertake cancer prevention related activities on the day. The campaign will be ongoing.
