“The working class in this country should not be sent to die”
Edward Yankovich, International Vice President of the United Mine Workers union, spoke those words yesterday as about 200 people gathered in Pittsburgh's Mellon Square to observe the 22nd annual Workers Memorial Day. The event commemorates those who were injured and killed at their jobs.
