51 workers killed in state in '02 Billings Gazette, MT
Every April 28th since 1989, the unions of the AFL-CIO have observed Workers' Memorial Day to remember those who have suffered or died on the job.
'As we remember those who have died in workplace catastrophes, suffered because of exposure to toxic substances or have been injured because of dangerous conditions, we rededicate ourselves to the fight for safe workplaces,' said Jerry Driscoll, executive secretary of Montana AFL-CIO. 'We cite an old Mother Jones saying as our anthem, 'Mourn for the dead, but fight like hell for the living.' '
Driscoll said the state's small, seven-person staff of workplace inspectors is a 'joke' and said it would take them 107 years to inspect each job site just once.------------------------------------------- posted 6:52 AM :: reference link ::
