2022 Workers' Memorial Day Remembrance: Knoxville

Seating is available but you may want to bring a lawn chair. In case of rain the event will be in the fellowship hall.

Knoxville Workers Memorial Day Committee, Interfaith Worker Justice, Jobs with Justice of East Tenneessee and Knoxville-Oak Ridge Area Central Labor Council sponsor the annual event which will honor East Tenneessee workers who died at work in 2021, including Kingston Coal Ash Cleanup Workers.

Seth Black, a member of the Insulators Union who died in an accident at TVA’s Bull Run Fossil Plant will also be honored.

We will hear from essential workers and their unions about how they demanded protection from Covid exposure and how we can help them fight for better health and safety.
