Nycha safety associates are making their developments safer for members and for residents

With a Safety Associate at each NYCHA development, Local 237 members have real voice in addressing health and safety concerns. These members attend Safety Congresses (joint labor-management meetings) monthly, and their many efforts have been successful in reducing and/or eliminating safety and health hazards. But there is still much to be done. Here are some of those who lead on safety at their workplaces, and we will continue to highlight efforts of this group in future editions.
