Still Time to Plan Your Workers Memorial Day Activities

CWA locals, many of them working with other unions, community groups and occupational safety and health experts, are planning rallies, memorial services and educational activities during the week of Workers Memorial Day, April 28.

If your local hasn't decided what to do, CWA's Occupational Safety and Health Director Dave LeGrande and Workers Memorial Day materials available from the AFL-CIO can help.

LeGrande encourages locals to call him with questions about planning events and asks locals that already have made plans to share those ideas. He can be reached by e-mail at legrande@cwa-union.org.

The AFL-CIO's WMD materials can be ordered online at www.aflcio.org/shop or by calling (202) 637-5024. Some materials and fact sheets can be downloaded at no cost at www.aflcio.org/issues/safety/memorial/.

Whatever you plan, be sure there's someone taking good, high-resolution pictures that can be used in your local publications or by CWA nationally on our website or in the CWA News. E-mail photos to LeGrande as soon as possible after your event.
