In Honor of Workers\u2019 Memorial Week, each day this week Citizen Vox discussed the need for safe jobs and called attention to the ways the Trump administration is dismantling key worker health and safety protections.<\/em><\/p>\n Significant challenges are ahead in the fight for safer workplaces.<\/p>\n Today is the first Workers\u2019 Memorial Day under the Trump administration. And, now, more than ever, our communities should come together to demand strong protections in the workplace. Not one more worker should have to die from a preventable incident at work.<\/p>\n This week, our blog series recapped the ways in which the Trump administration<\/a> and the Republican Congress are rewarding corporations at the expense of the health and safety<\/a> of working families. In the first 100 days of this administration, workers suffered devastating rollbacks of workplace safety regulations<\/a> and were left to wonder whether their political leaders would defund the agencies<\/a> keeping them safe on the job.<\/p>\n
