With Free Notary Service!
Lori Nedderman and
Teresa Moreno
“I want to take this opportunity to thank Teresa for providing excellent
service for Julie and I. We needed some documents notarized on short notice.
We made an appointment and saved over $80 by using the union’s free
service at the Riverside office. This is just another example of the benefits
of being a UPEC member,” Lori Neddermann, County of Riverside Department
of Animal Control.
Health And Safety Tips
If you sit in front of a computer all day, then you are at risk for wrist
problems, eyestrain and neck and back pain. Avoid injury with these simple
tips:
* Place your monitor directly in front of you, so that it is at eye-level.
Don’t sacrifice neck and back health for space by placing
your keyboard and monitor off to the side of your desk.
* Keep an eye out for glare. If you find that you’re seeing
bright
reflections or glare from your monitor, consider purchasing
a glare screen, adjusting the lighting in your office or moving your desk.
* Prevent wrist strain by buying a wrist pad or positioning your mouse
so that your elbow is always at a 90-degree angle. Your wrist should always
be in a neutral position. In other words, the knuckles, wrist, and top
of the forearm should form a straight line.
* Adjust your chair so that your feet are flat on the ground. If you cannot
adjust your chair, buy a footrest.
* Take breaks from your work by standing up or shifting position every
15 minutes or so. And be sure to give your eyes a rest by looking away
from the screen every few minutes.
Each year 1.8 million workers in the United States report work-related
musculo-skeletal disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis
and back injuries. Don’t let it happen to you!
