MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- Ahead of Memorial Day next month, local unions, workers, and local leaders gathered on Sunday, April 28 at Zielder Union Square to commemorate Workers Memorial Day.
The point of the event is to remember all the workers who have lost their lives on the job last year.
According to the Milwaukee Area Labor Council, 62 people in Wisconsin were killed at work in 2023, representing all kinds of fields.
"It can be anything from a public sector worker to a firefighter to a manufacturing worker, agricultural worker, firefighters. There's many different people who are represented on this list of 62 names who lost their lives in the past year," said Pam Fendt, President of the Milwaukee Area Labor Council.
Several state assembly members were at the event. They read a proclamation honoring Wisconsin workers and the sacrifices they have made on the job.
