We will continue to organize to raise the baseline level of safety protections for everyone, including those disproportionately impacted by dangerous working conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Today, let&#8217;s renew our fight for stronger safety and health protections. Only when we stand together, can we hold workplace safety agencies accountable to create and enforce laws that protect workers, and to hold employers accountable to keep workers safe.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/search?q=iwmd22\">#iwmd22<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this post<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-5654\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-5654\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-5654\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-pocket\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-pocket sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654&amp;share=pocket\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pocket\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pocket (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-jetpack-whatsapp sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654&amp;share=jetpack-whatsapp\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on WhatsApp\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on WhatsApp (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"https:\/\/28april.org\/?p=5654\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\" ><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"mailto:?subject=%5BShared%20Post%5D%20USA%3A%20USW%20is%20organising%20to%20raise%20the%20level%20of%20safety%20protections%20for%20everyone&body=https%3A%2F%2F28april.org%2F%3Fp%3D5654&share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email a link to a friend\" data-email-share-error-title=\"Do you have email set up?\" data-email-share-error-text=\"If you&#039;re having problems sharing via email, you might not have email set up for your browser.
