DESCRIPTION:4/18 March and Rally - Workers Memorial Day 2015 Remember The Dead and 
 Fight for The Injured & Fight TPP\nMarch and Rally - Workers Memorial Day 
 2015 Remember The Dead and Fight for The Injured & Fight TPP\n\nMeet: at 
 Harry Bridges Plaza\n\nEmbarcadero at Market St. SF, at plaza in front of 
 Ferry Building under the tower.\n\nTime: April 18 (Saturday), 2015 11:00 
 AM\nMarch to: ILWU Local 34 union hall – 801 2nd St. next to AT&T Stadium 
 Light lunch & Meeting from 12:00 Noon\nParking space avalable at the 
 hall.\n\nApril is Workers Memorial Month To Remember Those Workers Killed 
 And Injured on the Job.\n\nThis year’s event will also honor the over 250 
 chil- dren and crew that were killed in the Sewol Fer- ry Disaster in Korea 
 on April 16, 2014 due to the lack of health and safety conditions, and lack 
 of training of the temporary crew\n\non the ship. The Sewol moth- ers 
 recently visited the United States to get justice and an in- dependent 
 hearing.\n\nApril 18 has also been declared a day of International day of 
 action against the Trans Pa-\ncific Partnership, TPP. This is directly 
 connected to workers health and safety since it is\nthrough these so called 
 “free trade” agreements that there has been deregulation of health\nand 
 safety protection and privatization of public services harming all working 
 people.\nAt the same time, deregulation of workers comp in the US and 
 throughout the country has also meant that seriously injured workers are 
 not get- ting prompt healthcare and many end up permanently disabled and 
 homeless. We need to rally\nall working people to stand up for injured 
 workers and their right to healthcare and compensation.\n\nToday, in the 
 United States, workers health and safety is under the threat and health and 
 safety whistleblowers are being bullied and are afraid to speak out due to 
 real concerns about retalia- tion. In fact, OSHA lawyer Darrell Whitman who 
 will be speaking at the meeting is a Federal lawyer who inves- tigates OSHA 
 whistleblowers and he himself has been retaliated against for seeking to 
 protect these whistleblowers.\n\n\nInitial Spakers:\n\nDarrell Whitman -
