    A Raleigh community is honoring North Carolina workers who lost their lives on the job.

    Local workers, union members, and community leaders hosted a memorial event on Sunday at Bicentennial Plaza commemorating workers sickened, hurt, or killed on the job, and calling for stronger safety protections.

    A bell was rung 217 times by organizers for each person who died while working in NC in 2022.

    The North Carolina Department of Labor also participated in the event and discussed improvements to workplace safety.
