AFL-CIO Releases 2022 "Death on the Job" Report
AFL-CIO Releases 2022 “Death on the Job” Report
By Jordan Barab
APR 27, 2022
Tomorrow is Workers Memorial Day — the day every year that is dedicated, in labor organizer Mother Jones’ words to “Mourn for the Dead and Fight like Hell for the Living.”
Workers Memorial Day also marks the release of the AFL-CIO’s annual Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect report that details the current state of safety and health protections state for America’s workers. This is the 31st edition of the report and nowhere else can you find everything you ever needed to know about workplace safety and health than in this report.
The report observes that although the Biden administration is making slow but steady progress recovering from Trump’s attacks on longstanding workplace safety protections and attempt to dismantle the systems for future protections, Republicans and the business community continues to oppose any budget increases or additional regulatory protections for workers.
So what is the state of safety and health protections in 2022?
