SUMMARY:2017 Workers’ Memorial Day
DESCRIPTION:Workers’ Memorial Day is a time to remember those who died on the job or suffered workplace injuries\, while raising awareness to prevent future illnesses\, injuries and deaths. Respect for health and safety is respect for ALL workers. \nEspecially now\, we need to stand together and demand safe workplaces\, and the right to organize. We reject the unsafe and unconstitutional idea that two (or even one) regulations should be removed to implement new safeguards. Join us to demand safe workplaces for all! \n¡SOS!\nSave Our Safeguards!\n¡Salvar Nuestras Salvaguardas!\nRain OR Shine!\n \nSource: National Council for Occupational Safety and Health \nIn the United States\, more than 100\,000 workers die every year from long-term occupational disease and traumatic incidents on the job. These deaths are preventable. Read the National Council for Occupational Safety and Health report\, Preventable Deaths 2016. \n\n2016 Pictures \n\n \nPlease click here for more photos from the 2016 rally. \n\n \nPlease click here for more photos from the 2016 march. \n\n \n2016 Media Coverage\nApril 25\, 2016\nHome News Tribune\nHundreds Rally for Safe Working Conditions\nThe rally and spirited march focused on the demand for respect\, including safe work and a living wage.
