Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim April 28, 2025, as Workers' Memorial Day in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution memorializes Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim April 28, 2025, as Workers' Memorial Day in New York State, recognizing the ongoing efforts of the Labor Movement to improve workplace safety and honor workers who have been killed, injured, or made ill on the job. The resolution highlights the historical context of workplace safety, noting that the Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA) went into effect over 50 years ago, granting workers the fundamental right to a safe workplace. It acknowledges that despite progress made by unions and labor advocates, thousands of workers are still killed each year, with a two percent increase in work-related injuries reported in 2018 and approximately 53,445 workers dying of work-related illnesses in 2007. The resolution emphasizes the broader social and economic impacts of workplace injuries and deaths on families and society, and aims to ensure that safe workplaces become the norm for all working men and women. Finally, the resolution directs that a copy of the document be transmitted to Governor Hochul.
