-Union Recognition-

Join us in recognizing today, April 28th as Workers Memorial Day, a day to recognize all the work put into workers safety and keeping our work a safe environment.

Check out AFL-CIO’s website with information on the day and what it represents.

Elevating workplace safety and health issues is more important than ever. At a time of deep division, the desire for a safe and healthy workplace is something that unites people, and is important for our organizing, bargaining and advocacy.
