USA: National COSH Dirty Dozen report – release event

National COSH  • Dirty Dozen Release Event/ Evento de Lanzamiento La Docena Sucia

National COSH reports “every year, far too many workers never make it home – like the hardworking immigrants, assigned to the night shift, who perished last month when a bridge collapsed in Baltimore.

“Millions more, still with us, find their lives diminished, their incomes lower and their expenses higher because of preventable workplace illnesses and injuries.

“Each year we honor all of these workers and their families during Workers’ Memorial Week, which takes place this year from April 21st through April 28th. ”

Cada año, demasiados trabajadores no regresan a casa, como trabajadores inmigrantes, asignados en el turno de la noche, que fallecieron el mes pasado cuando se derrumbó un puente en Baltimore.

Evento de lanzamiento de La Docena Sucia de 2024jueves 25 de abril a las 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 12 pm MT / 11 am PT

Millones más, aún con nosotros, encontrarán sus vidas disminuidas, sus ingresos más bajos y sus gastos más altos debido a enfermedades y lesiones prevenibles en el lugar de trabajo.

Cada año honramos a todos estos trabajadores y sus familias durante la Semana Conmemorativa de Trabajadores Fallecidos, que se lleva a cabo este año del 21 al 28 de abril.

¿Puedes unirte a COSH Nacional el jueves 25 de abril a las 2:00 pm Este / 1:00 pm Centro / 12:00 pm Montaña / 11:00 am Pacifico, en Zoom? Celebraremos la Semana Conmemorativa de Trabajadores Fallecidos con nuestro anuncio de los(las) empleadores injustos de La Docena Sucia de este año. Hacemos hincapié en el comportamiento irresponsable que pone en riesgo a trabajadores y comunidades. Elevaremos las historias de los trabajadores y las comunidades que luchan para obtener mejores protecciones para reducir muertes, lesiones y enfermedades.

Estamos invitando a los medios de comunicación, ¡y a tí! – a escuchar directamente de trabajadores y familias que pagan el precio cuando un empleador no es responsable. Nos encantaría tenerte con nosotros el 25 de abril.

La Semana Conmemorativa de Trabajadores Fallecidos es un momento para recordar a aquellos que hemos perdido y para luchar con todas nuestras fuerzas por los vivos. Nos sentiríamos honrados si pudieras unirte a nosotros el 25 de abril,

USA: You’re invited – Dirty Dozen release event, 4/27 / Estás invitade: evento de lanzamiento de la Docena Sucia, 27/04

[Este es un mensaje bilingüe. Más abajo en español]

You know who they are: the employers who put profits over people. Join National COSH as we call out 12 of these dirty companies and lift up the voices of the workers who are courageous enough to stand up to say “NO MORE.”

We’ll commemorate Worker’s Memorial Week with our release of the 2022 Dirty Dozen Report this Wednesday, April 27, 2022 at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 12 noon MT / 11 am PT.

This release event will be moderated by our own Jessica E. Martinez and will feature a panel of workers from some of the “Dirty Dozen” employers. We have also invited the press to hear their stories and get the word out that workplace injuries and fatalities are NOT accidents, but preventable incidents. We know we can save lives and reduce illnesses and injuries when we join together and ensure that employers listen to workers and follow established safety protocols.

Workers’ Memorial Week is a time to mourn the dead and fight like hell for the living. We hope you can join us on April 27th.

In solidarity,

Families and Co-Workers Remember Those Lost on the Job for Workers’ Memorial Week

LOS ANGELES – Gathering at a virtual National Speak Out to observe Workers’ Memorial Week, safety activists said today that a new COVID-19 Emergency Temporary Standard (ETS) will save lives and must be “rapidly approved and rigorously enforced.”

National COSH also released today a new report, “Deadly Risks, Costly Failures.”  Key findings include:

Reporte “Riesgos Mortales, Fallas Costosas” 

Graphics to share on social media, in English and Spanish, in our 2021 WMW Toolkit.

  • Worker complaints to OSHA increased by 20% in 2020 when compared to 2019 — but safety inspections dropped by 50%
  • No public agency is monitoring workplace infections or fatalities from COVID-19.  The total number of those who have died after workplace exposure is untracked and unknown.
  • Black, Latinx, and Native people are more likely to get infected, more likely to die from the disease, and over-represented in the frontline occupations where workers are most at risk.

“Deadly Risks, Costly Failures” is available at NationalCOSH.org.
