Why: Together on Workers Memorial Day, we raise our collective voices to win stronger safety and health protections in our workplaces and stronger job safety and health laws. We hold employers accountable to keep workers safe. We demand action on critical safety and health protections against preventable workplace hazards. We demand more resources for our nation’s job safety agencies to hold employers accountable. We demand dignity at work. And we will organize and fight for the fundamental right of every worker to a safe job until that promise is fulfilled.
