This article introduces some key labor, economic, and social policies that historically and currently impact occupational health disparities in the United States.
We conducted a broad review of the peer-reviewed and gray literature on the effects of social, economic, and labor policies on occupational health disparities.
Many populations such as tipped workers, public employees, immigrant workers, and misclassified workers are not protected by current laws and policies, including worker's compensation or Occupational Safety and Health Administration enforcement of standards. Local and state initiatives, such as living wage laws and community benefit agreements, as well as multiagency law enforcement contribute to reducing occupational health disparities.
There is a need to build coalitions and collaborations to command the resources necessary to identify, and then reduce and eliminate occupational disparities by establishing healthy, safe, and just work for all.
本文介绍了一些在历史上及当前对美国职业健康差异产生影响的关键劳动、经济和社会政策。
我们对同行评审文献和灰色文献进行了广泛回顾,内容涉及社会、经济和劳动政策对职业健康差异的影响。
许多人群,如小费工、公职人员、移民工人和被错误分类的工人,未受到现行法律和政策的保护,包括工人赔偿或职业安全与健康管理局的标准执行。地方和州的举措,如生活工资法和社区福利协议,以及多机构执法,有助于减少职业健康差异。
有必要建立联盟与合作关系,以获取必要资源,通过为所有人建立健康、安全和公正的工作来识别、减少并消除职业差异。
