Health and safety: Usdaw retail workers say HSE cuts show Con-Dems 'put profit before workers'
Usdaw conference hears government more concerned by corporate profits than workplace health and safety
Retail union Usdaw conference delegates said yesterday that cuts to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) showed Con-Dem ministers valued corporate profit over workers’ health.
West Yorkshire delegate Beverly O’Toole said: “We as the workers are becoming less important. This government sees health and safety inspections as a burden on business.
“Far from being a burden to the businesses those that are inspected are more successful and last longer into the future.”
