(51,907 posts)56. Worker Memorial Day events around the state week of 4/21
http://www.thestand.org/2013/04/worker-memorial-day-events-next-week/
A young fisherman, a veteran truck driver, a bridge painter, and an office manager working at her desk. These are among the 66 people who will be honored this year at the 2013 Worker Memorial Day ceremonies around Washington state next week. Each year on Worker Memorial Day, working people throughout the world remember those who were hurt or killed on the job, and renew our struggle for safe workplaces.
Each and every day in this country, on average 13 workers die on the job as a result of workplace injuries women and men who go to work, never to return home to their families and loved ones, said Jeff Johnson, President of the Washington State Labor Council. Its important that we honor their memory and their families, and that we rededicate ourselves each year to improving workplace safety and health.
Here are the events planned in Tumwater, Seattle, Everett, Tacoma, Spokane and Bellingham next week:
