Abstract

An action-oriented conference, “Organized Labor, Public Health, and Tobacco Control Policy,” was held in September 2000 in Boston, Massachusetts. Labor union leaders, tobacco control and public health activists, researchers, and practitioners met for two days to: 1) learn about existing labor-based tobacco control initiatives; 2) educate one another about resources, barriers, and opportunities for labor-public health joint action on tobacco policy; 3) and identify where agendas overlap and form the basis for specific next steps in collaborative efforts in tobacco-related research, training, and advocacy. This report summarizes presentations and participant discussions to inform readers of the information exchanged and of the enthusiasm shared by conference participants—translated into a set of joint recommendations—for increased labor-based and joint labor-public health action to reduce the burden of tobacco on working people.
