Community members, labor leaders, faith leaders and local officials gathered at the Walkway Over the Hudson in Highland on Saturday, April 28, for Workers Memorial Day to remember those who have been killed and injured while working. Pictured are Rev. Alex Lever, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Monroe, Hudson Valley Area Labor Federation Secretary Janette Clark (PEF), Vice President Billy Riccaldo (CSEA), and others whose prayers went out to those lost. The group also called for greater awareness of workplace safety and stronger regulations and protections for all working people.
