Abstract | This paper focuses on participation of labor unions in health promotion and health promotion programs. It begins by discussing labor unions' impact on today's work force. An overview of unions' historical concern for worker health serves as an introduction to consideration of the labor movement's current involvement in employee health. A look at labor's views of health promotion follows. Both labor's concerns and labor's hope for health promotion are addressed. Recommendations are made for involving unions in health promotion, and results of studies of the extent of union involvement in health promotion programs are provided. A prognosis is made regarding the future of union-based health promotion programs. The paper concludes with 11 examples of international, national, and local union health promotion programs. Union name and address, contact person, and telephone number are given. (YLB) |
