The International Longshoremen and Warehouse Union invites you to attend the memorial services of longshore worker Carlos Rivera at Harbor Christian Center (1552 Wilmington Blvd, Wilmington), today at 10:00am. Rivera’s burial will follow immediately at Green Hills Memorial Park.
Rivera was killed on the job on April 4, 2008, after more than 40 years on the job. Read the Press-Telegram article here.
Co-workers have asked that all cranes boom up at 11:45 on Monday, in honor of Rivera. This was last done in February of 2005, to honor Matt Petrasich – also an experienced employee who was killed while working. See a video of the cranes in honor of Petrasich below.
