DESCRIPTION:Workers Memorial Day April 29 ILWU Local 34 "Remember the dead – Fight 
 for the living.”\nSunday April 29, 2018 7:00 PM\nILWU Local 34\n800 2nd 
 St. (next to AT&T Stadium) Parking available next to union hall\nSan 
 Francisco, California\n\nWorkers Memorial Day commemorates the workers who 
 have been injured and killed on the job and also brings together today’s 
 fight to protect health and safety on the job. There is an epidemic of 
 workplace bullying, racist and sexual harassment and regular retaliation 
 against workers on the job. Workers health and safety is under threat in 
 every area including workers in the bay area and there is a massive 
 increase in workplace bullying particularly against whistleblowers. It is 
 critical that all workers speak out for our health and safety and the 
 protection of our lives on the job. Cal-OSHA is severely underfunded and 
 there are more fish and game inspectors than OSHA inspectors for 
 California’s 18.5 million workers. In late 2017, California Governor 
 Jerry Brown’s Department of Finance instructed the Department of 
 Industrial Relations to cut 21 Cal/OSHA field inspector positions. By March 
 2018, Cal/OSHA was stripped of 16 field enforcement positions, with at 
 least another five to be eliminated by June 30th.  The offices most 
 affected by the cuts are ones that respond to worker complaints about 
 unsafe conditions and investigate serious injuries and deaths.\n\nThere is 
 also an epidemic of hanging noose incidents in the workplace to terrorize 
 and intimidate African American workers from the docks of Oakland to 
 Oakland City Maintenance yards and Recology Sanitation Company in San 
 Francisco\n\nStand Up,  Speak Out And Defend Our Lives\n\nInitial 
 Speakers:\n\nYesenia Guitron, Wells Fargo OSHA Whistleblower\nDr. Larry 
 Rose, Former Cal-OSHA Medical Director\nBrenda Barros, SEIU 1021 SF General 
 Chapter Chair and SF COPE Co-Chair\nDaniel Berman, Author of Death on the 
 Job\nKristyn Jones, UTR Teacher and 2018 Delegate To NEA Convention\nCheryl 
 Thornton, SEIU 1021 Health Care Worker Potrero Hill Health
