Mark Your Calendar: April 28 is Workers' Memorial Day

On Workers' Memorial Day, union members and allies remember those who have been killed, injured and sickened on the job, and focus on what needs to be done to make our jobs safer.

The AFL-CIO is spearheading the fight this year, calling for work that is safe and healthy, and that pays fair wages.

Here are some ways to observe Workers' Memorial Day:

• Hold a candlelight vigil, memorial service or moment of silence to remember those who have died on the job and to highlight safety and health issues in your community.
• Conduct training and workshops for workers and the community on reporting job hazards and knowing their workplace rights.
• Create a memorial at a workplace or in the community where workers have been killed on the job.
