June 2022: PWHS and the Occupational Health Clinics for Ontario Workers (OHCOW) are looking for public transport workers ages 35 and under to participate in our research project to better understand the impact that the COVID-19 pandemic has had on young workers and their workplace mental health.
We would like to invite you to participate in a confidential 45-60 min interview to share your experiences on the impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on your working conditions, your mental health, and what the employer and transport unions responses have been.
This information will be used to help inform our research and provide recommendations to unions and workplaces on potential actions they can take to protect young workers’ mental health and wellbeing.
We are looking to recruit participants who are:
- 35 and under
- Part of a union
- Work in any part of the public transport sector (maintenance, drivers, cleaners, ticket takers, etc,)
If you are interested in sharing your experiences, or you would like to learn more about the project, please contact: lcedillo@ohcow.on.ca or visit: Pandemic related stressors in young transport sector workers
