#StrongEconomies Webinar: Workforce Protection: Strengthening Safeguards for Utility Workers Performing Essential Infrastructure Work
Join Women In Government on Thursday, September 24th for a #StrongEconomies webinar! Utility workers are essential to keeping the infrastructure our communities rely on safe and operational. Yet utility personnel increasingly face threats, harassments and physical assaults while carrying out their duties. This session will examine the evolving workforce environment for utility workers and the growing need for stronger protections. The discussion will explore ways to ensure utility personnel have the support and safeguards they need to perform their duties safely and effectively. Please note, this is a LIVE event and will not be recorded.
