Join NAGE and MassCOSH at Workers Memorial Day, April 29
April 17, 2008
We've made great strides toward ensuring that jobs are safe and healthy, but sadly we must remember those who were injured and who lost their lives while at work in 2007. We hope you will join us.
Please join NAGE and MassCOSH (Massachusetts Coalition for Occupational Safety and Health ) on Tuesday, April 29 at the Massachusetts State House, 24 Beacon Street in Boston. At 12:00 noon we will gather outside, on the stairs, for a special Workers’ Memorial Day Ceremony to honor Massachusetts workers who lost their lives in 2007 and the beginning of 2008. MassCOSH will also host a special commemorative breakfast in Room 511 of the State House at 10:30am specifically for families that have lost a loved one due to a workplace incident.
At the event a special report, Dying for Work in Massachusetts, will be released, highlighting that fact that workers continue to be killed and maimed on the job in record numbers.
MassCOSH is collecting stories of workers who were injured or killed on the job to share in the report and at the event. If you would like to submit a short story about your loved one and the workplace incident that s/he was involved in, please click here.
