Monday

Worker's Memorial Day: Friday, April 28th.

This day is to remember the people killed/injured/infected/etc at work.

Each year, 6,000 people are killed at work. Another 50,000 workers die from occupational diseases and millions more are injured.
As far as I know, there are no events planned. This link has suggestions: http://www.teamster.org/resources/sh/hottopics/workmemday2006_events.htm

If I'm wrong please post your event in the comments please.
