Attention female ATU members: Take part in women's health survey
Health on the job is critical to all ATU members, but very little research has been
done to understand how shift work specifically affects women. The demands placed
on women's bodies while working and balancing home life can have serious health
consequences. There has been some suggestion that female shift workers may be at
greater risk for ill-health effects.
That is why the National Center for Intermodal Transportation at the University
of Denver is working with the ATU to conduct a study to assess women's health issues.
The participation of female ATU members is needed to provide researchers and policy
makers with information to better understand the relationship between shift work
and health effects on women. Please help us better understand these issues by clicking
