Workers Memorial Day in the Capital Region

ALBANY, NY (04/26/2013)(readMedia)-- Please join the CDALF with our affiliated Unions & community partners at our annual program to observe Workers Memorial Day. We gather to remember and honor our injured and fallen workers from around our region and advocate for safe working conditions for all. Each year on Workers Memorial Day, working people throughout the world remember those who were injured or lost their lives to workplace fatalities and renew our struggle for safe workplaces.

Our ceremony will include a message from local Labor Leaders and members of the Faith Community, a performance by Urban Guerilla Theatre and a memorial service to honor our sisters & brothers who lost their lives on the job.

Special thanks to, CSEA, UFCW #1, CWA #1118 & IUE-CWA 81359
