News
April 10, 2007
On April 28, 2007, CWA and the U.S. labor movement will once again celebrate and observe Workers' Memorial Day to remember those who have become ill, injured, or killed on the job, as well as to renew our fight for strong safety and health protections. Participation in Workers' Memorial Day - 2007 is of particular significance to CWA. During the last year, CWA has lost four of our members to workplace fatalities. In addition, many of our members have suffered work-related injuries, illnesses, and "near misses," in some cases, suffering severe medical disorders because of these incidents.
