#workers #safety #workersmemorialday2026 #MayDay

Today is Workers’ Memorial Day - a day we remember those killed or injured on the job and recommit to safer workplaces. So postal workers are wearing stickers at work to remind postal management that “Talk is cheap: safety matters.”

On Workers’ Memorial Day, we honor those lost on the job and recommit to the fight for safer workplaces. Read more from UAW President Shawn Fain: https://ow.ly/Uybh50YNC7X

On Workers Memorial Day, America’s unions mourn the workers who have lost their lives or been injured or made ill on the job. Every worker should be able to go home after their shift safe and healthy, and we’ll keep fighting like hell to make that a reality for every worker.

Agriculture workers can be exposed to serious and fatal safety and health risks while harvesting and processing in the fields. On April 28, Workers’ Memorial Day, let’s all recommit to this promise and make sure all workers are safe. www.dir.ca.gov/dosh/dosh_publications/Ag-Field-Operations.pdf

Por si trabajan en Purastone o similar. La silicosis es una enfermedad grave e irreversible.

There is a major national silicosis epidemic. Unless steps are taken to change what’s going on now, in a very dramatic way, we’ll continue to see more and more workers develop silicosis and die from silicosis. Don't miss this powerful article by Semantha Raquel Norris, @capitalandmain.bsky.social

Today, 3,800 meatpacking workers in Greeley, CO are striking against JBS — the world's largest meat processing company — over dangerous conditions and impossible line speeds. JBS made $2B in profits last year. Yes, they can afford to keep workers safe.

As temperatures rise, is California doing enough to keep its farmworkers safe? Great interview with Dr. Edward Flores @ucmercedclc.bsky.social @ucmerced.bsky.social www.capradio.org/articles/202...

Farmworkers feed our nation, often under grueling conditions and little recognition. Every fruit, vegetable, and grain we enjoy comes from their hands. In 2022, I marched with the UFW to stand in solidarity. Today, we honor their labor and resilience.

Workers showed up to #NoKings events across the country on Saturday because using our power means not living in fear. No worker should be one emergency away from collapse. No worker should be one decision away from eviction. Using our power means control over our lives.

Important Issue Brief from @aflcio.org - Without Robust Guardrails, AI Harms Workers aflciotechinstitute.org/policy/AIHar... FACT: Workers have the right to demand safeguards for how technologies are being used in their workplace and in society at large.

It’s Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire Day. The fact that everyone knows about the Titanic and no one knows about the largest industrial disaster of the era says a lot about our priorities and how we view class and labor

146 workers died in the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire on this day in 1911. The bosses responsible were never held accountable for the awful working conditions that sparked the blaze. Remember this today as politicians and their corporate backers attack workplace safety.

No worker should die of heat exposure. The fact that 100s have died over the past several years shows why leaving heat plans up to bosses doesn't work. What does work, new research shows, is enforcing simple rules mandating access to water, shade and breaks. insideclimatenews.org/news/0212202...

A powerful study "documenting the life-saving impact of a comprehensive workplace heat standard" @drdavidmichaels.bsky.social @jbarab.bsky.social @nelp.org @nationalcosh.bsky.social OSHA must act now

Texas workers are dying from heat, but business leaders and Republicans support a ban on local protections, because too many different laws will confuse businesses. But they oppose a national OSHA standard as well. Maybe they just don't care? insideclimatenews.org/news/2411202...
