The federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration has released damning data which shows that on average 150 people per day die working for unAmerican Corporate America!  And the AFL-CIO says that statistic is low-balled!

The deaths are a combination of dying on the job (accidents or workplace violence) and slow deaths over time due to exposure to hazardous materials. The AFL-CIO has compiled the data into a report called Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect, 2015.

The American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) points out that the government data does not include incidents involving government employees!  Not only that, but each state has a different reporting system for deaths or injuries on the job, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates that as many as 50% of workplace incidents are not being reported!
