The Chautauqua County Workers’ Memorial Committee will hold its 20th Annual Workers’ Memorial Day tomorrow. The ceremony will take place at 11am at the Chautauqua County Workers’ Memorial Site at Erlandson Overview Park in Frewsburg.
Workers’ Memorial Day is a day of remembering all of the men and women from Chautauqua County who have been killed on the job, in the line of duty, or died from job-related causes. This year’s ceremony will recognize over 160 individuals who have passed away on the job since the 1880s.
The ceremony will also include a special dedication of a bell in memory of Mary Lou Dunning, a former member of CSEA Local# 807/6300 and Buffalo-Niagara Frontier Retirees Local 903 who passed away on October 16, 2019.
The event is free and open to the public. This year’s keynote speaker is Western New York Area Labor Federation President Peter DeJesus.
