On April 28, the UCFW commemorates Workers Memorial Day, the international annual day of remembrance, honoring workers who have died or been injured in the workplace.
“Every worker deserves to return home safely at the end of the day with their health and well-being intact,” said UFCW International President Milton Jones in a statement.
“This Workers Memorial Day, the UFCW stands in solidarity with the families, co-workers, and communities who carry the pain of those who have lost their lives or sustained injuries at work. We must honor those who have died or been injured with action—by confronting threats to workplace safety wherever they arise, from the halls of government to the factory floor.”
“In the fight to improve workplace safety, the UFCW will continue to organize more workers, secure strong contracts with workplace protections, and raise standards for every worker in North America.”
