- Meeting
On this 28th of April, the Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) is taking part in an OECD Environment Ministerial meeting, as part of its efforts to convince the OECD Council of Ministers next June and the G8 next July to strengthen the linkages between public and occupational health. Marie-Louise Knuppert from LO-Denmark will be among the trade union speakers at the meeting. General Secretary, John Evans of TUAC said the delegation would signal the significance of the 28th of April with the Ministers today, but it aims also to convince the G8 to take up the issue of occupational health. The trade union statement, prepared by TUAC, will be released next week, ahead of consultations with Japanese Ministers on the 13th of May. It deals with current social and economic issues but contains a section on Linking Poverty Reduction and Public Health Strategies.
- Commemorative Candle
The Trade Union Advisory Committee to the OECD (TUAC) will light an international candle for the 28th of April and let it burn for the entire day in its Paris office in order to commemorate workers who have died or become ill throughout the world in the past year.
