Linsey recognises the challenges of being fat and having workplaces that expect you to fit into them – especially when you’re disabled. Drawing on her knowledge of employment, and health and safety legislation, Linsey will share some experiences as well as tools and strategies to make your workplace fit you.
Linsey is a fat, queer, disabled public servant who specialises in governance, is the co-convenor for Kaimahi Whaikaha – the Council of Trade Unions disabled worker sector group, and the Wellington Province co-convenor for the Green Party. However in a former life she was a union organiser and she studied social work which forms the basis of her advocacy and activism.
