Each year, thousands of workers die and millions more are injured or sickened from dangerous working conditions. Many employers routinely cut corners and violate the law.

The theme of this year’s Workers Memorial Day is “Safe Jobs, Every Worker’s Right.” Make it clear that the labor movement will defend the right of every worker to a safe job – and fight until that promise is fulfilled.
Stand Up for Safe Jobs
According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), between Oct. 1, 2015 and Sept. 30, 2016, nearly 5,000 workers were killed on the job and nearly 2.9 million suffered from non-fatal injuries or illnesses.
During that same time period, ten postal workers lost their lives and 42,259 were seriously sickened or injured. In the last two years, the injury and lost time rate for USPS employees has been over three times the average for other federal employees.
To fight this troubling record, the APWU launched the Stand Up for Safe Jobs campaign (http://click.actionnetwork.org/mpss/c/6AA/ni0YAA/t.26r/4gloeN-xT3qYuV_C6S-UeA/h3/WClYTsxAKa5zn8xuBrklp6-2FAv8bP9ZF485NEsJZfDM5GgvYFcus0MHapDrKf-2BjlDyqJa5hu8R4OPOPgLs6MBr6uIcz8SZoy7jC0qonnBfvmtr YtxUwHRnNlQmOPWLJigMadWTtGoh4QoXQCA3jhpnioAp-2FATiwqx-2BNWh2q25STLpw8WblFkldluKp5FCu5Cxqv76M2KZUTDYV98oH QmAPjHR6Y6TIOTUAVt2Wcx0sxs43iQHfDeyzRjD-2BcqvFj9E6gle7uw8yEPMroDCzrCaGR0RhyXL0xD2Q-2BwdvVBCHqQDM6NRBEj13Bk3fctyfnQzlPK8-2BFRyg24HFDQMIJ5CXhe75rGtsmvHtVbblpPI0Q4-3D), encouraging workers to be aware of the many dangers on the job, and to actively fight together for safe working conditions.
