The Midstate Council for Occupational Safety and Health began in 1989 to advocate for workplace health and safety with the Tompkins Cortland Labor Coalition. The Labor Coalition later became the Midstate Labor Council.
Most of our Board members date from that time, and we are looking for allies to carry on this vital work. We are encouraging women, LGBTQIA+, and BIPOC community members to apply. If you are interested in learning more about this opportunity, please contact board@midstatecosh.org or call (607) 275-9560.
