Labor Quiz: Working Themselves to Death(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Nearly 5,000 workers die as a result of workplace accidents every year. How many die every year as a result of cancers and other illnesses brought about by their work? Click here and you could be next week's winner of a labor music CD!

Last Week's Quiz: The “Poor Boy” sandwich got its name when a sandwich shop owner in New Orleans, during a streetcar strike in the city, told his staff to give a free sandwich to any striking “poor boy” who asked for one. Congrats to Barbara Cannady-Masimini of AFGE Local 2725, Washington, D.C., this week's quiz (and labor music CD) winner!
