A new report issued by the AFL-CIO, its 30th annual Death on the Job Report, reveals that every day, on average, 275 U.S. workers die from hazardous working conditions. CWA Local 3808 member Eric Chapman, an AT&T worker in Nashville, spoke at an AFL-CIO press event about two CWA members from his local who recently died – deaths that the union believes could have been prevented.

Legislation has already been introduced in California, Colorado, and New York, and CWA is in active conversations with policymakers in state houses across the country.

AT&T continued to eliminate thousands of jobs during a global health and economic emergency to satisfy Wall Street demands for profits at any cost.
