The National Safety Council, Labor Division, held their Spring Meetings in Pittsburgh, PA from April 27th through May 3rd.  

Since Worker’s Memorial Day fell during this time, many of the Labor Division members joined in a Worker’s Memorial Day Rally held at the Steel Worker’s Hall.  After the rally, a traditional Pittsburgh sandwich was served by the host local.
