Cheyenne – Silver triangle has operated 45 times in Rotunda in Capitol. Each episode celebrated a general lift that went to work in Wyoming in 2023 and did not return home for their families because they were killed in the job.
About thirteen people – most of whom are local unions – gathered to attend the anniversary day on the cold and wet Monday.
“Everyone goes to work worth returning home,” said Marce Kind, CEO of Wyoming AFL-CIO. “Every family deserves peace to know their loved ones are protected. Every life is much more lost.”
Reverend Dylani Piper, the shepherd of the sheikh's church in the highlands, led the group in prayer.
Piper said: “Oh my God, we do not understand why the deaths like this, which we remember, and we are sad today.” “More than that, we do not understand the reason not to join everyone – workers, business leaders and political leaders – in taking decisive measures to prevent future death and protect workers.”
The anniversary of the anniversary of the anniversary of the anniversary of the year 1970 Occupational Safety and Health Law. The measure is supposed to guarantee, in response to the mortality massacre, injuries and diseases, safe working conditions. Although accidents occur, Kindroid can have a lot of preventive accidents, collectively, they indicate a systematic ignorance of workers.
“Behind every death in the workplace lies the story (Hayat) is a very early abbreviation and a wave of sadness that lasts for a long time after the headlines fade.”
Kindrd and other speakers indicated that the 45th professional deaths in Wyoming in 2023 The bloodiest country in the nation for workers That year – a distinction was made between Wyoming several times. Maria Shanur, Executive Director of the Association of trial lawyers in Wyoming and a long -running defender, said the annual commitment to demand safer working conditions seems to be wandering among state leaders.
“We have committed, every year over the past twenty years, to do what is better,” said Chaanur. “Here, after 20 years, decades, with one of the highest death rates in the workplace since 2007. It is flammable to say these words that I said every year as the great people who keep our state.”
Local United Nations 13214, President Marshall Kamings, who works for the We Soda Trona mine near Green River, believes that the permanent mortality epidemic in Wyoming is the result of ignoring the workers made in it.The right to work“Laws. Such laws apparently protect employees from forcing them to join the union. However, in the Kamings estimate, laws aim specifically to reduce the strength of unions, as well as persuade them to hold employees accountable for the safety of workers.
“Let's be very clear about this: the right of work is a lie,” Kamings said. “It is not about jobs. It is not a matter of freedom. It is about the weakness of the same organizations – our unions – that make us safe.”
In countries that have the laws of right to work, workers see fewer wages, lower health benefits and weaker security, according to Cammings.
He said, “The most important thing is that the workplace (in cases of truth) is more dangerous,” he said. “What is the right to freedom if you cannot speak in dangerous circumstances because you may shoot if you do so?
At the present time, Wyoming AFL-CIO focuses its legislative efforts, not on the laws of the state's right, but on the largest and most immediate goal of improving safety in the workplace, according to Kindred. The Union Group and the Association of the Attorney General in Wyoming and other defenders of workers sees an opportunity to ignite previous efforts at the state level that prompted Wyoming towards safer workplaces-the efforts that seemed to fade after the Covid-19 pandemic.
“It should not be once a year to meet and talk about why this is an important problem,” said Chaanur. “We must hold these talks at the workplace, on the upper floor (in the House of Representatives, the Senate), and the Ruler's office, and we must have leadership by our elected officials in helping us take steps forward that remains in place.”
