Join Us for our Annual Workers Memorial Day Event - April 25th

On Workers’ Memorial Day, workers across our Nation pause to remember those who have died as a result of a workplace injury or illness. Over the last few years, Long Island’s workers, as in many other years, failed to escape the tragedy of death as a result of performing their jobs. These workers and their grieving families must not be forgotten. Please join the Long Island Workers’ Memorial Day Committee in honoring these workers at a service dedicated to their memory.

Staffing shortages in the public sector are at crisis levels. From public education to health care, and transportation to emergency services, employers at every level of government have sounded the alarm that they cannot recruit enough staff or encourage qualified individuals to stay in service.

Send a letter to your legislators asking them to fix the Tier 6 public pension system as part of the 2024-25 State Budget. Tier 6 has become an impediment to recruitment and retention, we can’t afford to wait any longer to find a solution.
