Education and Activism Opportunity!!
H and S community in Denver on Nov. 4-7
USMWF was able to bring 13 family members to attend the National COSH meeting the Health and Safety Summit and meet with an amazing team at the Denver OSHA office, Region 8
. The Denver visit was a very unique because USMWF members have never meet with a Labor Liaison or a Solicitor of Labor. USMWF
has enjoyed many events and meetings with OSHA offices but felt this particular
visit was a good start for new relationships and very informative.
