 \nWorkers Killed On The Job \nWorkers Memorial Day Rally and Speak-Out 
 \nSunday April 27, 2008 12:00 Noon \nCentral Park at 4th St. and "C" St. 
 Davis California \n\nInitiated By \nCalifornia Coalition For Workers 
 Memorial Day CCWMD \nEndorsed By San Francisco Labor Council \n\nInjured 
 workers in California are under assault. As a result of deregulation of 
 workers compensation, their permanent disability has been slashed more than 
 50%. They face one obstacle after another with company doctors in medical 
 review boards stalling their healthcare and some injured workers have been 
 retaliated against for filing workers compensation claims by district 
 attorneys who at the same time refuse to prosecute insurance companies for 
 fraud. \n\nThere are more fish and game inspectors in California than 
 OSHA-Inspectors and the last doctor of Cal-OSHA Larry Rose has not been 
 replaced since he retired. The destruction of Ca-OSHA is a threat to every 
 worker and their family in California. \n\nIn Davis, California biotech 
 worker David Bell was working at Agraquest and despite requests for proper 
 health and safety protection, the company refused to even put up hazard 
 signs. He was infected by microorganisms and is still fighting for his 
 life. The company which is owned by Pam Marrone who used to work for 
 Monsanto has refused to pay for his healthcare and he has been forced to go 
 on social security insurance with costs of over $300,000. WE NEED TO GET 
 THE INSURANCE INDUSTRY OUT OF HEALTHCARE AND GET SINGLE PAYER. \n\nHis 
 mother Sandi Trend also discovered that there were patents by company 
 scientists for the very materials that was found in her son’s body but 
 this company has still blocked and stalled taking responsibility for these 
 injuries putting his life in greater danger. \n\nJoin SEIU-UHW, Unite-HERE, 
 UFCW, SEIU 1000, NALC and UBC workers in speaking out about these 
 travesties and demanding health and safety on the job and healthcare and 
 benefits for workers who are injured. Also speaking will be Davis resident 
 Dan Berman, author of Death On The Job. \n\n\n\nFor more information, to
