The inaugural Workers' Voice Summit was held in Washington DC in 2022. Worker advocates from across the country spoke directly with the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), part of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) about their concerns and ideas for solutions moving forward. Worker advocates shared their experiences with ineffective OSHA enforcement and a lack of accountability for poor employer behaviors. National Council for Occupational Safety and Health (COSH) network members developed priorities in advance of the summit that laid out a path for progress. Priorities included: engagement of workers and advocates as collaborators with OSHA; protection for workers from being silenced due to immigration status; enabling workers to fully participate in workplace investigations and enforcement proceedings; protection for temporary workers; and collaboration with state and federal agencies to maximize worker protections. The summit was a good start and worker advocates are prepared to keep pushing.
2022 年，首届工人之声峰会在华盛顿特区举行。来自全国各地的工人权益倡导者直接与美国劳工部职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）就他们的关切和解决方案进行了沟通。工人权益倡导者分享了他们对 OSHA 执法不力和雇主不良行为缺乏问责制的经验。国家职业安全与健康委员会（COSH）网络成员在峰会前确定了优先事项，为取得进展制定了路线图。优先事项包括：让工人和倡导者作为 OSHA 的合作者参与其中；保护工人不因移民身份而被噤声；使工人能够充分参与工作场所调查和执法程序；保护临时工；与州和联邦机构合作，最大限度地保护工人权益。这次峰会是一个良好的开端，工人权益倡导者准备继续努力。
