April 28, 2014 is Workers Memorial Day, an international day of mourning to remember those who have suffered and died on the job. It is also the anniversary of the Occupational Safety and Health Act, which went into effect on April 28, 1971. The AFL-CIO has a website that explains more about this special day and includes links to scheduled events/activities, explanatory materials and other media. This year's theme is "Safe Jobs Save Lives - Make Your Voice Heard" to highlight the need for stronger protections and the right of workers to speak out without fear of retaliation.
