Here’s today's labor history:
On this date in 1914, a coal mine collapse at Eccles, West Virginia killed 181 workers...
In 1924, 119 died in the Benwood, West Virginia, coal mine disaster...
And in 1971, Congress created OSHA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. The AFL-CIO set April 28 as “Workers Memorial Day” to honor all workers killed or injured on the job every year.
Today’s labor quote is by Tony Mazzocchi, the primary force behind enactment of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970
Tony Mazzocchi, who said
"Movements grow in desperate times. We are being born."
Mazzocchi was also a founder of the DC Labor FilmFest 17 years ago, which now anchors the annual DC LaborFest. He died in 2002.
