Organized labor will focus attention on workplace safety and honor thousands of workers killed annually and countless others injured and sickened on the job on Workers’ Memorial Day, April 28. This year’s theme is Good Jobs-Safe Jobs for All. The AFL-CIO also issued its annual study, “Death on the Job,” which reports by industry why deaths and injuries occurred and exposes the federal government’s shameful track record. The lack of enforcement of existing safety laws by Bush’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration will also be highlighted. For more information, see www.afl-cio.org.
