    'One of a kind' steelworker forged memories The Express Times, PA
    'Iron Mike' was a steelworker. He lived and breathed the smoke and fire of Steel's Basic Oxygen Furnace, where he worked the 'teeming aisle,' helping to mix and pour molten steel into ingots for the rolling mills.

    And that's where Mike was killed on July 25, 1995.

    His was among the 718 names of Lehigh Valley area workers killed on the job that were solemnly read during the annual Workers Memorial Day ceremony Sunday at the Bethlehem Rose Garden."

    United Steelworkers applaud recommendations of coroner's jury Canada NewsWire
    TORONTO - United Steelworkers' Ontario/Atlantic Canada Director Wayne Fraser says last week's recommendations of the coroner's jury in the death of Patrick Shand reflect what Canada's largest security union has been saying for years in a long-term campaign to ensure mandatory licensing and better training for all private security officers.
