On April 28, the unions of the AFL-CIO observe Workers Memorial Day to remember those who have suffered and died on the job, and to renew the fight for safe workplaces.
During 1993, seventy-nine on-the-job deaths were reportrd by the U.S. Occupational Safety and Health Administration and the Worker's Compensation Division of the State of Wisconsin. These were not the only worker deaths in Wisconsin!
If you have lost a loved one to occupational illness or a death in the workplace and are looking for some help figuring out what to do and who to contact the United Support and Memorial for Workplace Fatalities may be of help. This web site is run by a woman, and her family, who lost her brother to a workplace fatality. They provide support, awareness, tributes, memorials, article, self-help, workers comp. laws, wrongful death attorneys and safety resources. And most of all they care! They listen!
