Every year on April 28, the unions of the AFL-CIO come together to observe Workers Memorial Day and to remember those who have suffered and died on the job and to renew the fight for safe jobs. The theme of this year's Workers Memorial Day is "Working For Safe Jobs." It is our hope this year that we will come together to call for work in this country that is safe and healthy and pays fair wages. It is the goal of the AFL-CIO that we will celebrate the victories won by working people and commit to fighting until all workers have safe jobs and the freedom to form unions without the threat of retaliation.
On April 28, 2016, please remember those who have suffered and died on the job, and please renew the fight for safe workplaces. Speak out for safe jobs. Enclosed are materials with ideas and information to assist you.
