The CUPE university health and safety check-up wanted to hear first-hand experience from local activists their experience in dealing with health and safety issues like asbestos, continuing hazards due to deferred maintenance, ventilation, air quality and mould.
The check-ups provide a great forum for CUPE local unions and, in some cases, other unions to meet and discuss issues on their campuses. We were able to travel to eleven campuses during 2006.
