A memorial to mark Workers’ Memorial Day will be held in New York City on Tuesday 28 April 2026 at 12 pm at 345 Park Avenue. It is presented by New York Committee for Occupational Safety and Health (NYCOSH) together with AFL-CIO affiliate New York City Central Labor Council.
Workers’ Memorial Day commemorates workers who have died, been injured, or made ill because of their jobs and is observed internationally by labour organisations and workplace safety groups.
The AFL-CIO’s Workers Memorial Day’s web page in now live, which means you can download stickers, posters and fliers in English and Spanish.
You can also download a toolkit, which includes some important fact sheets and information on deregulation and worker safety and health, the Trump record, etc. There are some English and some Spanish sections to the toolkit. Descargue el Kit de Herramientas (Ingles / Espanol)
This year we will HOLD THE LINE FOR SAFE JOBS/SIGAMOS EN PIE POR EMPLEOS SEGUROS. “Mourn for the Dead, Fight for the Living” stickers are also available.
We are pretty excited about the theme and the artwork this year. State feds/CLCs, faith groups, other community groups and others have already placed orders.
