Workers' Memorial Day April 28, 2004 By Anne Feeney
There is growing concern among all Americans as the death toll mounts in Iraq... close to a hundred this month alone. We remember how the 58,000 American deaths over the course of the war in Vietnam just about tore this country apart.
Do you know how many US workers die every year as a result of going to work?
Most people are flabbergasted to learn that 60,000 death claims are paid annually for work-related deaths. That's more *every* year than all GIs killed during the entire course of the Vietnam war.... almost 20 times the number who died on September 11, 2001. That's 164 workers every day.------------------------------------------- posted 9:00 AM :: reference link ::
