Workers Memorial Day April 28, 2009

At the Workers Memorial Day service on April 28, President Emeritus Frank D. Martino was honored by the ICWUC. The UFCW granted permission for the ICWUC to move the Workers Memorial monument back to the Walter L. Mitchell Building in Akron, Ohio and that was done. A stone area was created around the monument along with some landscaping in order to create a permanent installation. The new Frank D. Martino Workers Memorial was dedicated to all workers who have been killed or injured on their jobs and will now be a centerpiece for organized labor in Akron each Workers Memorial Day.

 

 

 

 

A service was held that was attended by Representatives from the ICWUC and UFCW; representatives from U.S. Senator Sherrod Brown’s office; Ohio Congresswoman Betty Sutton’s office; Ohio State Senator Tom Sawyer’s office; Summit County (Ohio) Executive Russ Pry; three area mayors; and many people from the Tri-County Central labor Council, along with several unions from the greater Akron, Ohio area. Also in attendance were retirees from the ICWUC. A memorial wreath was placed at the monument by Bob Haney, Local 1033C President and Julia Owens, Local 1020C President and a 21-gun salute was provided by the Color Guard from the Copley Ohio American Legion and VFW.
