POLLED OUT OF COMMITTEE

MAJORITY FAVORABLE

April 27, 1993

H. 4134

Introduced by REPS. Cobb-Hunter, Inabinett and Breeland

S. Printed 4/27/93--S.

Read the first time April 21, 1993.

THE COMMITTEE ON INVITATIONS

To whom was referred a Concurrent Resolution (H. 4134), to honor the working men and women who have died on the job, etc., respectfully

REPORT:

Has polled the Concurrent Resolution out majority favorable.

A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

TO HONOR THE WORKING MEN AND WOMEN WHO HAVE DIED ON THE JOB BY DECLARING APRIL 28, 1993, "WORKERS' MEMORIAL DAY".

Whereas, the working men and women of South Carolina have helped to build this State and keep the state's economy strong; and

Whereas, many workers die with little attention each year while performing their jobs, others die as the result of occupational diseases contracted or aggravated on the job, and thousands more are disabled or injured on the job; and

Whereas, in South Carolina in fiscal year 1992, twenty-seven workers died from causes as varied as electrocution, falls, and being struck by objects while working; and

Whereas, when these workers died they left behind families that had loved and depended on them; and

Whereas, while the need for strong safety and health protections, strong standards of enforcement, and fair and just compensation for such deaths and injuries continues, these fallen workers, and others before them, must not be forgotten. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That April 28, 1993, a day chosen by the unions of the AFL-CIO, be commemorated as "Workers' Memorial Day" in tribute to those workers who have lost their lives because of workplace injuries and illnesses.
