RSI on the rampage

Article Abstract:

A large increase in repetitive strain injury (RSI) cases referred to Usdaw, a labour union for shop workers, has led the union to begin a campaign to combat the issue. RSI can affect production staff, butchers, and checkout employees, as well as people using VDUs. Compensation claims tend to involve delays, though 26 cases have reached the compensation stage, with 565 such cases still on the union's file. Usdaw has published a guide for union representatives and employers, giving advice on how to tackle this problem.
