Today, we proudly observe Workers’ Memorial Day and honor all workers who never made it home from their shifts, and everyone who has been impacted by unsafe working conditions. Kimberly Brewer, President of SEIU Local 513, led the moment of silence and bell ringing in honor of 57 lives lost, at the Workers’ Memorial Day ceremony hosted by the Wichita-Hutchinson Labor Federation last week. Below, you can listen to President Brewer’s reading of “A Prayer for the Fallen” by Reverend Ian Lawton and experience the ringing of the bells.
We hope that you’ll join us in holding the line for safer working conditions, and that you’ll honor past generations of union members who fought tirelessly for workplace protections for all. Most importantly, take a moment to remember the workers we have lost.
We mourn for the dead, and we fight for the living.
