"Our hearts go out to the family of Laborers Local 175 member, Dennis Robertson, who tragically lost his life on Wednesday in a workplace accident in Haverhill. Dennis Robertson went to work on Wednesday expecting to do his job and return home to his family for Thanksgiving, but instead this father of four is gone and his family shattered. We mourn for Robertson, his family and his union brothers and sisters. Our prayers are also with the other laborer who was involved in this accident, still in hospital with serious injuries. Please remember all who were touched by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers during this holiday season."
-Steven A. Tolman, President Massachusetts AFL-CIO
