What is occupational injustices?

Occupational injustices refer to the forms of unfairness and inequities that arise in the workplace. These can include unequal pay, discrimination based on race, gender, or other factors, lack of access to opportunities for career advancement or professional development, and unhealthy or unsafe working conditions. Occupational injustices can create significant challenges for workers, many of whom may face barriers to success despite their qualifications and abilities. Furthermore, occupational injustices can impact the overall health and well-being of our communities, leading to greater levels of poverty, reduced productivity, and increased social tensions. Addressing these injustices requires a commitment to fairness and equity, as well as a willingness to take bold action to eliminate systemic barriers and promote greater opportunities for all workers.
