Solis honors fallen workers on Workers Memorial Day

Mary Harris "Mother" Jones' famous words, "Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living," were a call to arms that rang especially true on April 28, Workers Memorial Day, and on the heels of a tragic month for the nation's working families. More than 4.6 million workers suffer serious injuries each year. And, every day across America, more than 14 men and women lose their lives in preventable workplace incidents. "On this Workers Memorial Day, the mission of the Department of Labor's worker safety and health protection agencies -- MSHA and OSHA -- is clearer than ever," said Secretary Solis. "And, our effort to save lives has never been more necessary." Visit the DOL Web site to read the Secretary's full statement. Secretary Solis and Assistant Secretary Michaels took time to meet with 20 family members of victims of workplace fatalities during th eir visit to Washington, D.C., for Workers Memorial Day.
