A CONCURRENT
RESOLUTION
TO HONOR THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE
DIED ON THE JOB BY DECLARING APRIL 28, 1995,
"WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY".
Whereas, the working men and women of South Carolina have
helped to build this State and keep the state's economy strong; and
Whereas, many workers die with little attention each year while
performing their jobs, others die as the result of occupational
diseases contracted or aggravated on the job, and thousands more
are disabled or injured on the job; and
Whereas, in fiscal year 1994, thirty-nine workers died in South
Carolina while working from causes as varied as electrocution, falls,
and being struck by objects; and
Whereas, when these workers died they left behind families that had
loved and depended on them; and
Whereas, while the need for strong safety and health protections,
strong standards of enforcement, and fair and just compensation for
such deaths and injuries continues, these fallen workers, and others
before them, must not be forgotten. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate
concurring:
That April 28, 1995, a date chosen by the South Carolina
AFL-CIO, be commemorated as "Workers' Memorial
Day" in tribute to those workers who have lost their lives
because of workplace injuries and illnesses.
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to
Mr. G. O. Smoak, President of the South Carolina AFL-CIO.
