Working Families to Hold Workers Memorial Day Event in Honor of
Workers Who Died on the Job

In workplaces across America, workers continue to be exposed to toxic
chemicals like asbestos and safety hazards such as unguarded machinery. Participants will note that while the Obama administration has moved forward to strengthen protections with tougher enforcement, business groups and Republican legislators are trying to roll back regulations and block new safeguards.
