LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 28: Teresita Sattar, left, and Christopher Siclot, both with the Pilipino Workers Center (PWC) place more items in memory of colleagues on a growing memorial outside Los Angeles City Hall for Workers' Memorial Day. Workers, advocates, and community members gathered in a symbolic action to remember workers who passed away due to preventable workplace hazards and exposure to COVID-19 and call on elected officials to pass new workplace safety protections. Workers and family members of fallen workers, shared memories and allege employers have directly put workers at risk and were seldom held accountable by state and local officials. Several groups assembled a community altar at City Hall to remember those lost, and during a press conference demanded employers be held accountable to protect workers, and call on local and state officials to ensure laws and protections are enforced, and to pass new protections that ensure we protect workers to the fullest extent moving forward.
