Statement by AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka On Workers Memorial Day 2013

Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–April 29, 2013.  On Workers Memorial Day, we come together to recognize the inherent dignity and value of every person and to remember all those who have perished on the job. As a third-generation coal miner, I’ve known firsthand the uncertainty of whether my loved ones would return home at the end of the day safe and healthy, and my heart goes out to all the communities who have endured terrible losses.
