Who’s Endangering Worker Health and Safety Near You?

On Workers’ Memorial Day, do you know whether employers near you are endangering workers’ safety and health?

It’s easy to find out: Visit Working America’s Job Tracker, type in your zip code, click search and find employers within a 100-mile radius that violated safety and health regulations, had workplace fatalities or catastrophic incidents or amassed high workplace illness or injury rates since 2000.

Click once more and find out what happened to the workers-hands caught in machines, eyes damaged by chemicals, workers crushed-and the paltry amounts of fines levied on the employers by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. 

Job Tracker also lets you know which local employers have exported jobs or been charged with violating labor laws.

We like to call Job Tracker “The Online Tool CEOs Hate.”

Working America is a 1-million member community affiliate of the AFL-CIO for workers who don’t have the benefit of a union on the job. Not a union member? Join Working America to fight for good jobs in a just economy.
