Preparations underway for Worker’s Memorial Day ceremonies
NY’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral will host a “hardhat procession”
At a construction site in New Jersey, a train depot in Illinois, St. Patrick’s Cathedral in New York and other locations in the U.S., Canada and hundreds of other countries, ceremonies will be held in late April and early May to commemorate Worker’s Memorial Day 2013 (in Canada it’s known as Workers’ Day of Mourning).
Workers across many industries will be involved in events. A service to honor those killed or injured in the workplace is being sponsored by the County of Middlesex, Board of Chosen Freeholders and being held, fittingly, at a construction site in Sayreville, NJ at 10 a.m. on Friday, April 26.
