California Here We Come!
The host committee of the Occupational Health Section is busily planning events for this year’s APHA Annual Meeting in San Francisco. Please save the following dates, and let us know if you’re interested in a labor history tour, and when. See you soon!
Saturday or Sunday, Nov. 15 or 16
Labor History Tour? Please help us figure out whether we should plan a labor history tour this year. Because of the new meeting schedule, we’re concerned out-of-towners won’t be here early enough. If you would like to participate in a tour, please contact Diane Bush at <dbush@uclink.berkeley.edu>, and let us know whether you could participate Saturday afternoon (2-4), Sunday morning (9:30-11:30), or both. Thanks!
