In Memoriam — April 28

Each year nearly 6,000 workers are killed and hundreds of thousands more suffer serious job-related injuries and illnesses — many of them preventable. On Workers Memorial Day, we mourn the dead as we fight for the living with a variety of programs including the establishment of monuments to workers who have died on the job. Please let our health and safety office know about your program plans — and about any members who have lost their lives during the past year. You can order commemorative buttons, flyers and other materials from (202) 429-1228, or e-mail AFSCME.
