Workers Memorial Day
(Portland, OR) -- Ceremonies will be held today in Portland and Salem to mark Workers Memorial Day. It's organized by Oregon OSHA and several labor unions to honor the 37 Oregonians who have died on the job. In Portland, an event will be held at the Eastbank Esplanade. In Salem, a service will be held at the Fallen Worker Memorial on the State Capitol Mall. The Oregon Labor Federation says the services are also a way to hold employers accountable and demand more government resources devoted to worker safety.
