  2. Slips, trips and fall risks from ubiquitous dogs

    In dog-friendly Australia it seems the non-native canine is the most dominant species. They are allowed to roam the (dog-free) beaches, the national parks and (pet-friendly) workplaces, flats, cafes, restaurants etc. If not straying, then they are on long or flexible, extendable leashes stretching across hallways and footpaths.

    This trip-and-fall risk is human-unfriendly. The health, safety, and well-being of the bipedal companions is not considered. Pet dogs pose hygiene issues, potential zoonoses and allergy risks. The mental well-being of bite victims and phobia affected can trigger distress.

    These achievements are astounding and should be celebrated! 👏👍💕

    Ten Great Public Health Achievements — 1900-1999

    #Vaccination resulting in the eradication of smallpox; elimination of poliomyelitis in the Americas; and control of measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenzae Type B, and other infectious diseases in the United States and other parts of the world.

    Control of Infectious Diseases resulting from #cleanwater and improved sanitation. Infections such as typhoid and cholera, a major cause of #illness and #death early in the 20th century, have been reduced dramatically. In addition, the discovery of antimicrobial therapy has been critical to successful public health efforts to control infections such as tuberculosis and sexually transmitted diseases.

    Safer and Healthier #Foods have resulted from decreases in microbial contamination and increases in nutritional content. Identifying essential micronutrients and establishing food-fortification programs have almost eliminated major nutritional deficiency diseases such as rickets, goiter, and pellagra in the United States.

    Healthier #Mothers and #Babies have resulted from better hygiene and #nutrition, availability of antibiotics, greater access to health care, and technologic advances in maternal and neonatal medicine. Since 1900, infant mortality has decreased 90%, and maternal mortality has decreased 99%.

    #FamilyPlanning has provided health benefits such as smaller family size and longer interval between the birth of children; increased opportunities for preconceptional counseling and screening; fewer infant, child, and maternal deaths; and the use of barrier contraceptives to prevent pregnancy and transmission of human immunodeficiency virus and other STDs.

    Control of Risk Factors for #HeartDisease and #Stroke such as #smoking and high blood pressure. Since 1972, death rates for coronary heart disease have decreased 51%.

    Recognition of #Tobacco Use as a Health Hazard; since the 1964 Surgeon General's report on the health risks of smoking, the prevalence of smoking among adults has decreased, and millions of smoking-related deaths have been prevented.

    Motor-Vehicle Safety improvements have resulted from engineering efforts to make both #vehicles and #highways safer and from successful efforts to change personal behavior (e.g., increased use of safety belts, child safety seats, and motorcycle helmets and decreased drinking and driving).

    Safer #Workplaces work-related health problems, such as coal workers' pneumoconiosis (black lung), and silicosis (common at the beginning of the century) have come under better control. Severe injuries and deaths related to mining, manufacturing, construction, and transportation have also decreased. Since 1980, safer workplaces have resulted in a reduction of approximately 40% in the rate of fatal occupational injuries.

    #Fluoridation of Drinking Water began in 1945 and in 1999 reaches an estimated 144 million persons in the United States. It safely and inexpensively benefits both children and adults by effectively preventing tooth decay, regardless of socioeconomic status or access to care.

  4. ICE raids are mainly on work places and schools, not in bars and nightclubs, because it is easier to find undocumented immigrants working or studying.

    The so called "freeloaders". Think about it.

  5. @meganL I'm glad we are openly discussing #ableism in #workplaces & how it affects #PeopleWithDisabilities here though! We can't get more progressive changes if people aren't aware of the challenges & #discrimination #disabled people experience in many different workplaces.

  9. The #restaurant #industry has long coordinated efforts to suppress labor costs through the #NRA, a multimillion-dollar #lobbying machine funded both by its restaurant members and by the fees #workers pay for required food-safety classes, according to a recent New York Times report.

    The group has spent its #war chest on lobbying campaigns to preserve a subminimum #wage for tipped workers — who are disproportionately young, women, and people of color, and far more likely to live in #poverty than regular minimum wage workers — and to help block state and federal sick leave proposals and minimum wage increases.

    But now, restaurant executives are on edge. #Union campaigns are suddenly penetrating their industry, which employs about 10 percent of the American #workforce and has one of the lowest #unionization rates of any sector. Over the past few years, baristas have #unionized nearly 280 Starbucks stores in the face of enormous odds, and dozens of other coffee #shops and restaurants have followed suit.

    “The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, every newspaper reports on every union win… when an unfair labor practice charge is filed, when there are challenges to elections,” said Felice Ekelman, a principal at Jackson Lewis, one of the oldest and most infamous union avoidance law firms in the country. “When did this become first page #news?”

    “And guess who’s reading it?” replied Laura Pierson-Scheinberg, one of Ekelman’s Jackson Lewis colleagues, as the two sat across from each other on the main stage of the summit. “My kids. Literally. I have an 18-year-old, my kids are into it.”

    The two lawyers were discussing a new threat for the restaurant industry: the unexpected rise of union campaigns in workplaces that, for decades, have largely been immune from such organizing efforts.

    “Before, I used to say… ‘[Unionization] isn’t a problem for you in the restaurant industry,’” said Pierson-Scheinberg. But now, she warned, “Kids do not care about paying union dues. Two percent of pay, are you kidding me? Their Netflix costs more. They think it’s a hell of a deal.”

    The “kids,” she added, are #organizing #workplaces which would have previously seemed unreachable.
