Brothers and Sisters,
Today, on April 28, we observe Workers’ Memorial Day. It is a day to remember and honor the workers who have lost their lives in the pursuit of their livelihoods. This occasion reminds us of the crucial role played by unions in advocating for safer workplaces, fair treatment, and dignified working conditions for all.
Workers’ Memorial Day is not just a moment to reflect; it is a call to action. It urges us to recognize the power we hold when we stand together as a union. United, we have the strength to hold employers accountable, demand better safety standards, and ensure that every worker’s voice is heard.
At Local 4, we have a deep sense of pride in our history. The well-being of our members is our foremost priority, and we are committed to taking all necessary measures to ensure that job sites are safe and that workers receive the training and equipment they require.
Thank you for your continued dedication to our nation and our great Local Union!
In solidarity,
Michael J. Bowes
