Our 2026 Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect report is here. 380 U.S. workers die EACH DAY from hazardous working conditions. That’s unacceptable. A safe workplace is a right, and we’ll keep fighting to make that a reality. aflcio.org/dotj

We’ve released our 35th annual report “Death on the Job: The Toll of Neglect.” 5,070 workers died on the job in 2024. Every worker should be able to go home safe and healthy after their shift, but the Trump admin is putting workers at greater risk. aflcio.org/press/releases…
