摘要：

This article highlights the weakness of the UK's occupational health and safety infrastructure exposed by COVID-19 pandemic. Utilising a political economy perspective, it captures the critical role of workplace union safety representatives in mitigating risk and contesting the expropriation of health and recommodification of labour, specifically inadequate sick pay.
