Workers’ Memorial Day

This legislative proposal aims to officially designate Workers' Memorial Day as a new Federal holiday. It achieves this by amending section 6103(a) of title 5, United States Code , which enumerates all recognized Federal holidays. The bill specifically inserts "Workers' Memorial Day" into this list, thereby granting it the same status as other national holidays. The establishment of this holiday would provide a dedicated day for national observance, honoring and remembering workers who have lost their lives, suffered injuries, or developed illnesses as a result of their employment. This measure seeks to formally acknowledge the sacrifices made by workers and underscore the importance of workplace safety and health.
