Workers Memorial Day

April 28, 2016

 

Safety: it’s about our lives and our families.

 

Each year on April 28, the UAW observes Workers Memorial Day to honor those workers who have died on the job. This year’s theme is: “WORKING for SAFE JOBS”

 

For all workers, there is nothing more important than a safe workplace. And, there is nothing more important to our union than ensuring our worksites are as safe as possible. We can be proud that our UAW Local 1050 Environmental Health & Safety Committee along with our Joint EHS Committee is committed to providing a safe working environment.

 

Unfortunately, despite the UAW efforts, there have been seven UAW members killed on the job in 2015 & 2016. There have been two fatalities in May of 2015, one in January 2016 & one in February of 2016 all in other areas where the UAW represents members. This is a somber reminder to all of us that we must be ever vigilant.

 

We encourage all members/employees to participate on April 28, 2016 in a moment of silence prior to the start of your shifts and a brief over look on our UAW members that perished in their workplace. Next to the guard shack (Gate 5) at noon.

 

Your Health & Safety is our top concern everyday – not just on April 28th.

 

             Fraternally,

 

             Your UAW Local 1050 Environmental Health & Safety Committee!
