DESCRIPTION:On Workers Memorial Day In CA No More Worker Deaths & Injuries-\nRally At 
 Ca-OSHA, DIR In Oakland\nNO More Deaths On The Job-Fight For The Injured 
 Workers!\n\nSunday April 28, 2024 12 pm noon\nCalifornia State Building 
 Oakland\n1515 Clay St.\nOakland, California\n\nApril 28 is the date around 
 the world to commemorate Workers Memorial Day when we remember workers 
 killed and injured on the job.\n\nIn California we face the destruction of 
 any real health and safety protection and a corrupt workers compensation 
 system under Governor Newsom.\n\nCalifornia has less than 200 OSHA 
 inspectors with more than 18 million workers. That means that bosses and 
 companies can get away with no real oversight and inspections of dangerous 
 work sites including Tesla and many other sites. \n\nWorkers are also 
 illegally fired for reporting health and safety problems on the job and 
 under Newsom and the US Department of Labor bosses get away with this 
 illegal retaliation of health and safety whistleblowers.\n\nAt refineries, 
 biotech laboratories and construction sites workers are coerced and 
 threatened of they speak up about health and safety and at Bay Area 
 refineries this is causing even more dangerous incidents injuring  and 
 killing workers along with poisoning the communities with dangerous and 
 deadly toxins. No corporate executives are held accountable for this reign 
 of terror against workers and the community.\n\nThe agency under Governor 
 Newsom and the legislature has been bled and destroyed according even to 
 the workers who work there. We need the unions and labor movement to 
 challenge this deadly threat to our lives.\n\nDuring Covid many workers 
 died in California due to the criminal negligence and corporate capture of 
 Ca OSHA by the billionaires who own the governor and legislature.\n\nNewsom 
 and the legislature have also allowed the insurance industry and companies 
 to commit workers comp fraud by denying workers their timely treatment for 
 injuries and compensation for being unable to work.\n\nBosses and insurance 
 companies are committing massive workers comp fraud against injured workers 
 yet the so called Fraud Assessment Commission is controlled by the 
 insurance industry and only really prosecutes workers and not bosses and 
 the insurance companies.\n\nThe insurance industry under previous 
 Department of Industrial Relations director Christine Baker and the present 
 managers allow a  company Maximus with a record of killing workers for 
 profits  to have anonymous doctors who are not even licensed in California 
 to determine whether workers should get medical treatment. This insurance 
 controlled workers comp system is destroying the lives of workers injured 
 on the job. It was given a no bid multi million dollar contract by previous 
 governor Brown to decide whether injured workers get medical treatment. 
 Many workers are being permanently disabled by the stalling and refusal of 
 these insurance controlled companies denying medical treatment. This is 
 criminal and must be halted NOW!\n\nWe need to have 2, 000 OSHA inspectors 
 in California and eliminate the insurance industry. All workers and their 
 families need healthcare whether they are injured at work or off the job 
 but this means fighting the corruption and control of government agencies 
 by the very companies that they are supposed to regulate. We need our own 
 working class political representatives to stop the systemic corruption and 
 destruction of Cal-Osha and real workers compensation and benefits.\n\nJoin 
 injured workers and health and safety advocates on \n\nCalifornia Workers 
 Memorial Day\nSunday April 28, 2024 at 12:00 Noon.\nCalifornia State
