Anti-smoking program gives unions a tool to help members quit Workday Minnesota
For example, the union guide spells out how cigarette smoke and workplace toxins can combine to create a 'multiplier effect,' making each other more dangerous to workers who smoke.
That's the kind of information union members in an industrial setting should know, said Doug Williams, an international representative for IUE-CWA Local 1140.
