Workers’ Memorial Day

April 28 marks Workers’ Memorial Day, which honors the lives of those who have been injured or killed on the job. In the U.S., 12 workers die on the job every day. “This is intolerable,” says OSHA assistant secretary of labor David Michaels. “On this solemn occasion, we urge everyone to raise their voices in support of workers’ rights and to remember those who have paid the ultimate price of unsafe working conditions. Making a living shouldn’t include dying.” For more information, click here.
