During this hour Leslie interviews Mike Wright, Director of Health, Safety and Environment for the USW and an expert in Workplace Safety.

They’re joined by callers as they discuss ‘Workers’ Memorial Day,’ observed every year on April 28th. It is a day to honor those workers who have died on the job, to acknowledge the grievous suffering experienced by families and communities, and to recommit to the fight for safe and healthful workplaces for all workers. It is also the day OSHA was established in 1971. Under the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, employers are responsible for providing safe and healthful workplaces for their workers. OSHA's role is to ensure these conditions for America's working men and women by setting and enforcing standards, and providing training, education and assistance.

Additionally, here is a link to USW President Leo Gerard’s recent blog on the subject entitled “The Price for Killing Workers Must be Prison.” (https://tinyurl.com/klklw94)
