L'Ambiance still echoes

As they have every year since the day it happened, April 23, 1987, organized labor in Connecticut has kept alive not only the memory of the L'Ambiance Plaza construction disaster and the 28 men who died there, but also the importance of the ongoing fight for safety in the workplace. On that day, a twin-towered apartment building going up at the corner of Washington Avenue and Coleman Street in Bridgeport collapsed, the floors that had been erected in a now abandoned practice called lift-slab, pancaking down on the tradesmen working below.
