its starting point is that we have a right to a safe and healthy work environment, and that an economic system which puts protits above workers' health is the root cause of poor conditions.
The first section establishes the legitimacy of a rarely recognised occupational hazard stress. It points out how the particular problem that women workers face the double work day, harassment, lack of adequate rest time - compound the due to noise, office workers suffer.
The book goes on to cover the surprising number of health hazards caused by office environment (such as lighting, chemicals, temperature and ventilation) and physical layout.
There is a section entirely devoted to exploring the new problems cause by the rapid expansion of new technology The book is not simply a catalogue of office horrors. In its own words, 'a practical and political tool. Every chapter pro vides well-researched data. illustrations, and checklists on recognising hidden health hazards (such as poor lighting, fumes photocopiers), and stepby-step guidance on how use every available recourse practical, organisational and legal.
There ara examples of how successful struggles flave been conducted. sample health survey, a list of resource addresses, and a comprehensive bibliography are appended.
The book states unequivocally that the answer avoiding nasty-smelling Tippex, but in organisation and struggle. The final chapter, therefore, outlines the precedure for. forming a union, and for forming women's existing unions.

All these moves boil down to one thing: the Reagan administration is openly prepared ride roughshod over democratie rights in order to crush opposition to its war drive This was made abundantly Cicar in court the testimony of JUSUCC Department official Robert Keuch last week.
According to Keuch the real reason behind the government's massive investigation of the SWP was 'the inherent power and responsibilities of the President', referred to in a court opinion some years ago which noted 'that the President of the United it exposes more dirty tricks -Reagan's government: spies on any opposition States has a fundamental duty under Article 2, Section 1 of the Constitution protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.
