The Workers' Memorial is held annually on April 28th across the country to remember and honor union brothers and sisters who lost their lives while on the job. Locally, the Memorial Monument stands at Washington Park in Groton. The Memorial site contains more than 600 commemorative markers remembering workers and their families who have made the supreme sacrifice through loss of life.
