The precarious work of care : OSHA, HIV/AIDS, and women health care workers, 1980-2000
Wayne State University Professors of History Elizabeth Faue and Josiah Rector deliver a talk entitled, "The Precarious Work of Care: OSHA, HIV/AIDS, and Women Health Care Workers, 1980-2000". They discuss worker exposure to pathogens, over work, poor training and the lack of oversight by regulatory agencies in the healthcare industry. Rector and Faue describe safety advocacy by unions, applicable legislation enacted in the late 1980s and attempt to explain OSHA's preoccupation with industrial and construction workers at the expense of healthcare workers. A question and answer session follows. Part of the "Our Daily Work/Our Daily Lives" Brown Bag series sponsored by the Michigan State University School of Human Resources and Labor Relations, the MSU Museum, the MSU Center for Gender in Global Context and the MSU Women's Resource Center. Held at the MSU Museum Auditorium.
