vancouver: Workers’ Wellness tabling and discussion

With rising living costs, stagnant wages, intense heatwaves, and the ongoing pandemic, there is so much understandable concern at the intersection of health and work.

Do you face any of these issues? Join us at 7pm on August 19th to talk about our personal experiences with the lack of adequate paid sick days, neglect of COVID/Long COVID protections, the effects of rising temperatures on working conditions, and other health and safety concerns. Everyone is also welcome to come earlier at 6pm where we will set up a table and talk with people passing through the park about their experiences in the workplace. No worries if you’ve never done such a thing before—you can learn by watching other organizers do it first!

Date: Monday, August 19th
Time & Activity:
* 6-7pm for Street Teams Tabling with @WorkerSolidarityBC
* 7-8:30pm for Workers’ Wellness Discussion
Location: Both meet at Kingcrest Park, 4150 Knight St., so-called vancouver

High-quality masks (N95s & KN95s, not surgical or cloth) are mandatory and KN95s will be provided!

Both Street Teams and the discussion will not require any walking, as we will be sitting down outdoors at the park. The park location is wheelchair accessible!
