16 Worker Deaths Each Day

Every day in the United States, 16 workers die of employer negiigence. These are not the typical cases where a worker is on the job and his negligence, or the negligence of a co-worker contributes to an injury. These are cases where the employer is negligent, including violation of safety rules that they are legally required to follow. When that happens, you would think there would be some punishment to deter the employer from such negligence in the future. There is very little. "16 Deaths Per Day" is a film, and a movement that focuses on this problem and is promoting the passage of the "Protecting America's Workers Act". Workers injured on the job in Tennessee have rights, and their families may have a Tennessee workers' compensation claim if there is a death but very little every happens to the negligent employer. It's time for a change. To sign the petition click here.
