On April 28, we observe Workers’ Memorial Day to honor and remember the workers who have lost their lives or suffered injuries and illnesses due to their jobs.

In remembering our fallen and injured workers, we draw inspiration from their sacrifices to work harder for the safety and welfare of all workers. We must never forget the lives forever impacted by occupational incidents, illnesses, and diseases. Each name on the memorial is a reminder that workplace safety isn’t optional, it’s a right.

Michael Cody Curry a utility lineman of IBEW local 702 was honored. Curry was killed in a helicopter crash along with the pilot when the aircraft clipped a power line and burst into flames over a barge on the Missouri side of the Mississippi River in West Alton on Aug 7, 2025.
