Monument, memorial draw 2,000 construction workers By JOHN CURRAN, AP
'Workers Memorial Day is not a day to determine blame,' said master of ceremonies Roy Foster, president of the Atlantic and Cape May County Central Labor Council. 'It's not a day for finger-pointing.'
But hard feelings simmered.
'OSHA Kills,' read one hand-lettered sign. 'No OSHA whitewash,' said another.
Joseph J. Hunt, president of the International Ironworkers union, told the crowd that the Tropicana deaths occurred as the result of an incident, not an accident.
'Accident' implies that it was inevitable, that nothing could have been done to prevent it. When our members die, it's an incident that should have and could have been protected,' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 5:57 AM :: reference link ::
