Memorial Day 2014

April 24, 2014 by  

Memorial Day 2014, Working families, faith leaders and local officials will gather around Iowa, Friday through Monday, for a vigil to commemorate those who have perished or suffered injuries or illness on the job and to call on Congress to create safe jobs for all working people.

Workers continue to be exposed to toxic chemicals like silica, and serious safety hazards like combustible dust and workplace violence. Injured workers and relatives of workers who have lost their lives on the job will share their stories and renew the fight for stronger protections for all working people.

Events that are scheduled include:

n Black Hawk Union Council, Waterloo: There will be a ceremony at the Black Hawk Labor Temple, 1695 Burton Ave. Waterloo, starting at 5:30 p.m., Monday April 28.

n Clinton: The Clinton Labor Congress will again host a memorial service at Clinton’s Riverview Park on Monday, April 28, at 1:30 p.m. Several years ago, a commemorative tree was planted and the following year a concrete pedestal with a memorial plaque was installed by the tree. There will be a program this year at this site with invited dignitaries present. For more information, email wkranjnovich@hotmail.com or call 242-4298.
