Each year on Workers Memorial Day we gather to mourn CT workers killed on the job - and resolve to make our workplaces safer. This year, we're focused on safety for nurses & on the workplace toll the opiate crisis takes particularly on high injury areas like the building trades.

During the contract fight last year, General Motors CEO Mary Barra said the UAW was making 'unsustainably high' demands that would 'put our future at risk.'

GM just reported $3 billion in quarterly profits—all of it from North America.

Do not trust these CEOs.
