Unifor is part of a groundbreaking new project examining the risk to women from breast cancer caused by workplace exposure to chemicals.
“New research linking workplace chemicals to breast cancer puts the dangers for women at work in a whole new light,” said Sari Sairanen, Director of Health and Safety for Unifor.
The campaign “Put Breast Cancer Out of Work,” kicks off at a conference in Toronto in January 2014. The event will bring together workers, researchers, and activists to develop a plan of action.
Breast cancer has been traditionally linked to family and reproductive history, but new research linking it to workplace hazards exposes just how dangerous work can be for women.
